Astro Advertisement on Yahoo?

[Roach408]

So I was checking my email and just deleted some spam stuff, and when i hit sign out, I noticed a white headset with a amp controller, now this was really fast but they looked like astros. Am i tripping? Anyone else see ads in random places?

[ASTRO Warblade]

Yeah, ASTRO advertisements show up in all kinds of places. I've seen them at aintitcool.com, slickdeals.net, and yes, yahoo.com. =P

Its called Google adsense, they monitor what kinds of stuff you visit. Like if you watch lots of videos on youtube about a certain thing; since Google owns youtube, they can put you into the gaming category and the Astro ad can show up whenever there is adsense on the page. Its to get you to click on the ads based on what kind of stuff you like.

Its not that Astro is advertising on Yahoo like some sites and company's do on their front page, its just the program displaying something you like/would like to get you to click it to make them money. (I've had them show up on my own site a while back when we used Adsense.)

Yep

YouTube is the best to find them for me. Enter ASTRO A40 and boom adverts link right to them,

:D I hope there was no sarcasm.

Google Adsense is also the only way (To my knowledge) to make money off of Youtube without being a partner. This is where loads of gaming channels actually make money from because they can't be a partner. One very popular channel actually, FBwalshyFTW, was asking people to click on the ads more often so he can make more money. I sent him a message with the Terms of Use for Google Adsense, where it states your adsense account AND youtube account can be suspended if you are caught asking for clicks on the ads, and it is extremely easy for them to catch you. He took the video down of him asking people the click them shortly after.

Is there a reason why you stopped using adsense in your site? Just curious. Also, how do you apply for that? As far as having it on your site?

I'm pretty sure you have to have a paypal account, search it up on google. And what site do you mean. If you mean my site, we closed the forum recently.
