If I was the owners of militarylovelinks.com, I'd be wondering why my ad spend with Google was being delivered on a tech geek website in NZ :nerd:

Anyone want to date a GI?

Oh you ad blocking types.

Psst. Wanna see something really shocking?

Here's what those of us who don't block ads currently have to put up with. I challenge you yo find another part of the FBM NZ network, or indeed any (reputable) tech website with a higher proportion of graphic ads on the page (yes, I've edited this screenie to chop off extra posts unnecessary to the point, but the ads are as grabbed at the time):

Now that Google is shunting graphic ads into those Google ad word spots, you can get a whopping 6 graphic banners on the page.

Does US PC World do this? No. Does Cnet? No. Who does I ask you? Who does?
