Is it me, or is EVERYWHERE you go on the internet flooded with ads for Victoria X and Daz, in general. lol
I know google or amazon or whoever does that key word search-catering....serving
But damn, there are ads on every page on every site.
I'm already a daz user so I don't know what the purpose or effectiveness is...
But I'd lose my mind if I DIDN'T use Daz and only did one google search....lol
I used a site and am searching for images and POW- there's are TWO ads filling both borders for the new victoria and Daz making lifelike figures.....
And I rarely see the images used repeat so somebody is doing a serious job spreading the artwork and awareness.

No, I get them alot too. I imagine they must be pretty cheap and pretty ineffective given they are overtargeting DAZ regular customers rather than garnering new business.
Greetings,
It's called retargeting (or it was, once upon a time), and the goal is to get folks who've casually visited the site to come back. Unfortunately it's hard to tell the difference between a casual user and a hard-core user without collating uncomfortable information together. Plus if you haven't visited today, they want you to remember that DAZ has cool stuff and come back today. It's the ubiquity of retargeted ads that can help MAKE customers 'regular' customers, because it keeps the product top-of-mind.
Now I'm not saying I'm a fan; it bugs me that it shows up everywhere I go. Mostly it bugs me that someone glancing at the ads I see can tell so much about my browsing history with broad strokes. But it's definitely effective and valuable to the advertiser. Everybody likes to think they're different, that advertising doesn't affect them, but it really, really does, and pretty much always will.

...well, unless my monthly income magically increases and housing costs where I live tank, Daz will not be making much off me for the effort.
Nope, don't see them.. but I don't see any ads. Ad blocker is my friend.
...sadly ad blocker was playing havoc with a couple sites I frequent including YouTube (which I use for music) so I had to disable it.
check back in a few days or so - likely it's the sites playing havoc with adblocker instead and it's only a question of time until adblocker fixes it again.
It would be amusing if Renderotica adopted the practise.

what ever I have googled comes up in the ads on sites I allow them, DAZ frequently but if I was looking at hot water heaters got ads for those
its what Google does
I see Daz ads all the time on the forum for my local football team, mostly for Victoria. She seems oddly out of place there for a variety of reasons and was last spotted only this morning, half-covered in vines and lurking at the bottom of a thread full of panic-stricken fans asking why we still haven't signed a new keeper when the start of the next season is just weeks away. She'll find herself in goal if she's not careful.
I've noticed that Facebook serve up a lot of ads that are more relevant to some of my friends than they are to me. Perhaps they think they've got more chance with 'your friend is interested in this so you could be too' than with showing ads for things I've likely already bought. Not so, as it's my sister-in-law and her hubby that are dentists not me and so I've not the slightest interest in dental surgery equipment, but I suppose it was a comfort to know that when my other sister-in-law was splitting from her husband she'd probably been searching for a divorce solicitor and not a hitman!
I don't mind the ads for the items I normally search for. What I do mind are the auto playing video ad/commercial that plays when you click on an news article. Sometimes there's just one too many of 'em and they start playing and you have to scroll down and see which one is playing so you can "pause" it.
The ones that always amuse me are the pop ups I get from Newspaper sites, which say "We notice you are using and Ad-Blocker, can you please remove it" And I think to myself, not I won't remove it, because I stopped buying actual physical newspapers because they were more adverts than actual news, so obviously I don't want ads on online newspapers as well.
Grab yourself Ghostery plugin for your browser, can put an end to googles targeted barriage of painful daz ads. They wont know you were here (at least with the targeted ads)
Doesn't it allow you to whitelist those sites, or even dsiable the plug-in for just those sites? AdBlockPlus does.
You can opt out of personalized ads from Google, you don't even need any plugin or anything else for it:

Google have their own "Adblock" for Chrome which also works with youtube. No ads or anything on videos anymore, if you install it. Strange but true, considering they make money from the ads.

thanks so much for this!
This is the regular AdBlock, not anything by Google. Did you want to link something else?
No, I believe it's the one I was using (just reinstalled Windows, so not installed yet). Maybe not made by google, but it's in their store.
Yep, there are a few sites like that, ones that refuse to show you the page if you have adblocker running. I just leave those sites outright, and get very annoyed with them. I treat ads like I treat donation-ware, if it's good content I'll happily pay for it or turn off my adblocker for that site (Notepad++, the Nexus, Berzerk Studios - Zombidle game.) If a webpage isn't willing to show me its value to me I'm not willing to give it my ad revinue.
I haven't bought a newspaper in at least 20 years, and I haven't had a subscription for at least 30 years. I have seen them though, of course. I find them in the doctor's waiting room and glance through them. What amuses me the most is that they have shrunk, not only in newsworthy content, and thickness, but also in flat dimensions. The local newspaper that used to be a chore to hold one's arms apart far enough to hold open the paper for reading, now is like opening a cheap chinese restaurant menu brochure with 150 ways of mixing rice and meat and spices. But the best part of the paper was the comics which in my teen years filled two full pages (of the big paper) and have now dismally dwindled down to half a page (of the small paper) of half size cartoons that are poorly printed and almost unreadable. Newspapers are a dead technology but the ghost won't let go untl the last of the "War Babies" (slightly earlier than the "Baby Boomers") die.
For a while I got my news from news magazines (Time, Newsweek, Scientific American, etc.) but now It mostly comes from the websites of the reputable big news outlets, NBC, CBS, ABC, C-SPAN, CNN, BBC, etc. and their "Talking Heads" programs. (but specifically excludes anything from FOX).
I get a lot of Daz adverts as well. I used to think that Daz had a huge presence on the internet, but if they are basing the choice on the fact that they I have been here before that would explain it. Since I regularly check the Daz store these adverts are completly pointless, but I suppose they do prevent me from being bothered by other adverts.
I suppose it's another example of the simple minded strategies used to target adverts. I check the daily deals on Kindle every day, and if I'm not sure what sort of books they are from the title and cover picture I look at the description page, As a result of this I am constantly getting recommendations for books they think I might like mostly based on books I looked at and decided I had no interest in. I now ignore any recomendations I get from Amazon since they hardly ever chose anything I want.
Update - Amazon just came up with the stupidest recomendation I've seen so far. Based on my recent activity, they suggested I might like to buy the same CD I bought from them last week!
I notice ads on the side bar but sometimes in the timeline on FB. Trouble for me is when over-boobish, or grisly zombie stuff is advertised, stuff I don't buy and don't want to look at, and don't particularly want to be associated with is shown my time line readers who are not going to be inspired to buy those products.
Remember that with ads the site that comissioned them (in this case DAZ) only has to pay for ads that you click on. Since most of the people here would be unlikely to click on one of those, given that we visit the site frequently anyway, then DAZ would lose no money by having us chased around the net with those ads. The ads are more aimed at less frequent site visitors as an attempt to lure them back. As a marketing strategy it is a successful one, and many companies do it.
On the point of Ad blockers, please do consider that many of the sites that people visit (particularly news, free games and information sites) make all of their money via advertising, and if all of its visitors used ad blockers they would quickly go out of business, and you could no longer use them. No one here would advocate using illegally obtained 3D assets, as it denies the PA's any income, and adblockers in a sense could be argued to falling into a similar category in denying publishers any means on getting a return for their work.
Actually, with respect, most sites that I would use adblock on, I do more for protection against adware/viruses than because I particularly want to deny the site an income stream. If they don't care enough to screen their ads, too bad. And yes, there are people out there that have coded ads to download malware onto a person's computer.
The ads you see on your facebook are targeted at you because of the wedsites you visit, the ads that appear there for people that visit your page are targeted at them and completely different.
I went to a local hardware store once looking for a water heater for an RV.
The owner told me that he didn't sell hot water heaters for RVs.
I told him "That's okay, if it was hot I wouldn't need to heat it. Do
you sell cold water heaters?"
He told me to get out of his store.
The phrase "hot water heater" has never made sense to me.
I don't use an adblocker but on some sites I often find where the banner ad should be I've got a message from my McAffee security softare saying it is suspicious and has been blocked.
