I'm tired of these Daz ads all over my internet

Every website I visit I see that obnoxious Daz3d ad with the naked broad in red underwear and/or the moldy troll. I'm sick of looking at them.
In fact, I'm so sick of them that If I have to look at them much longer, I'll quit Daz just to make them go away.
I've been a paid member here since 2005. What the hell are you spamming me for? I've already spent thousands here, what more do you want?

Only time I ever see Daz anything is on the Daz site. No idea what you're getting.
I've seen them on the Giveaway of the Day site and a couple others.
i'm seeing it too. when i check the weather. on the yoo toobs. the ad doesn't bug me, but i do wonder they're not reaching to the people who don't all ready know about DS?
that is Google ad targetting for you!
I get Daz, Reallusion and other sites I frequent's stores ad's appearing on every page I visit too
and if I am not signed into Google I get my location as Carrara Qld on my android based on search history
the way to fix it is search history deleting and cookie clearing I believe
not Daz's fault, it is what Google and other search engines do.
target ad's
Google Chrome. Adblock. Problem solved!
Titled to adhere to the TOS
It's called Cookie tracking, your browser and the Web sites your visiting is pulling up ADD's based on your cookies. Any Add block your Browser supports or a simple Clearing of Cookies will stop the adds. This has nothing to do with DAZ 3D other than you have a DAZ 3D cookie when you visit a site that supports cookie add tracking.
Definitely Googles work, same technology that brings you ads for cheaper products, the same as you have just researched and bought at a higher price... Banking advertisements on warez sites...Advertisements for cheaper flights than the ticket you just bought...
I get almost no ads. I have a hosts file that redirects traffic destined for the ad servers back to localhost. Easy to do

On top of that I use firefox with several of the ad blocking add-ons.
I don't mind ads if they help make sites free that would otherwise cost money to use. The only ones I find extremely irritating are the ad boxes that pop up in the middle of the browser hiding your main article and follow you around as you scroll. I tend to get a very negative opinion of the company being advertised but have never seen a DAZ ad do that.
get http://www.safer-networking.org/ search and destroy - best free pc 'cleaner' around, to get rid of all the annoying trackers/adwarez and the like, then use google chrome or firefox mozilla with the free 'adblock' (ABP) addon to stop most of the popups ads and whatnot :)

Better yet, just Boycott google!
I block everything google with every tool I can find.
Never use the site for anything. I wont even let my browser display a search thingy if it has google in any way linked to it (I use firefox with the default search engine changed to something else).
I wont even use chrome, because of it's affiliation with google.
And I never saw a directed-at-me ad anywhere online! At least not any that I recognized as related to any of my searches or anything.
Google are the problem. They should be Eliminated!!
WOOF!
Bow-Wow, Arf!
Snarl, Growl, Foam-At-Mouth...
Personally I'd rather see advertisements which are relevant to my interests than generic bland adverts about things I have no interest in. I don't use adblockers for the simple reason that I watch a lot of Youtube videos and other ad-funded content and feel that watching an ad is the least I can do for otherwise free content. Luckily most of the ads I tend to see are movie and game related paraphernalia so sometimes it can pique my interest.
The Daz ads are harmless enough, though since Daz is the main site I buy content from anyway, It's a bit like preaching to the converted :)
I tend to see them on other forums I visit.
It's quite strange posting on a football message board with V6 and the Undead Fiend plastered all over it. :lol:
Firefox, Adblock Edge instead of Adblock Plus because Adblock Edge does not allow *non intrusive ads* opposed to Adblock Plus, Ghostery to block trackers and you're done. Don't forget Better Privacy to get rid of Flash cookies.
Use an ad-blocker, clear your cookies, don't sign into any kind of Google account. But it isn't DAZ's fault.
It doesn't really bother me. At least they have my interests right. I don't really like undead gif. I'm more of a m5 fan, but I'm sure that will change later when six is released.
Ah, this explains everything. I've been wondering why Daz was advertizing on so many porn sites....
I think the Undead Fiend was a bad choice for a mascot image. While it definitely is interesting and memorable, and probably targets a demographic Daz wants to go after, it is not a good choice for representing what Daz is as an Avatar.
Case in point, whenever I would use smart content to pull up G2F, I would miss it because it looks like an undead fiend in the products view (I'm a visual thinker). The Gen2 Starter Essentials that includes G2F uses the box image with the Fiend as its Icon (not that I will ever actually get a box of Daz). Ironically, the Fiend isn't even IN the starter essentials, however Fiend is the corporate image Daz wants to portray Studio, so now G2F=Fiend. Hmmm, maybe this could be the cause of some of the negative reaction to G2F?
I fixed it by replacing the Fiend Icon with G2F actor Icon (renamed), and it makes a lot more sense to me now when I browse smart contents.
Greetings,
This is actually called 'remarketing', and you see it because it's shockingly effective. You go to a site, because you're interested in what they do. You choose not to buy, for whatever reason, and wander off. 10-15 minutes later, you see an advertisement for the thing you were just thinking about and it brings you back to the site. Sure, for those of us who spend every waking hour visiting DAZ, it's not advertising money well spent, but for every one of us there are a dozen 'Oh! Yeah, I'd decided I wanted that thing by that artist that time!' responses.
Reminding folks, after they have had time to let awareness of something settle into their mind, is a very powerful brand awareness technique. DAZ didn't invent it, obviously, they're using someone else's ad network. Actually the car companies were the first BIG users of remarketing, but it has historically been very successful, despite everyone claiming that advertising doesn't work on them.
(Cue chorus of folks repeating that claim. ;) )

I find it hilarious. so I have been tagged for being on DAZ, LOTRO, WOW, brizilian beaches. So I go to another site, it reads this, and gives me adds for DAZ, LOTRO, WOW, why? If I just came from there I already know about it. It would make more sense to show the competitions adds. Like for Poser if I just came from DAZ, or WOW if I just came from LOTRO, or French beaches if I just came from Brazilian beaches.
Ya, it doesn't work for beach sites, but if it did it would be far more enjoyable :cheese:
Wait until they start beaming averts into our heads at night while we sleep.
Now if you'll excuse me i have some Lightspeed Briefs to go purchase.
I like the undead fiend, especially as a villainous bad guy in my renders of undead mayhem- But, I don't like seeing him everyday as he *IS* a decaying undead corpse.
Would like a hot guy or two, now and then.
I wouldn't mind seeing some M5...if I didn't have adblock lulz.
don’t mind ads if they help make sites free that would otherwise cost money to use.

I tend to get a very negative opinion of the company being advertised but have never seen a DAZ ad do that.
Don't forget the ones that shrink the text space or slow down/destabilize the browser. Thankfully I think they've long since moved away from ads that make noise.
Thankfully, on most sites, you can block annoying ads, windows, and menus with Firefox or Google Chrome.
Google are the problem. They should be Eliminated!!
I disagree. While I don't like some of Google's ad-related and data mining stuff, I give them a lot of leeway since they seem to be a respectable company as far as how they treat their employees and clients (the DoD and the like have to go through a lot of hoops in order to get Google to surrender private info on clients-- unless that has changed in the past year)
You don't find too many multinational conglomerates who actually treat the average joe even remotely like a human being. Take Comcast as a perfect example. Horrible treatment of employees, they screw the customer over every chance they get, and their tech support is famous for being horrible.

Luckily most of the ads I tend to see are movie and game related paraphernalia so sometimes it can pique my interest.
I use adblock and block most ads. It wouldn't be so bad if most sites didn't inundate their pages with like-- 5-7 ads, which altogether eat up half the webpage or require extra scrolling. I also block menus that I don't need, when possible, as these also cause extra scrolling, along with "tweet this", "facebook fave this" and all the other app icons/bars/etc.
Not only that, but some of the ads (the one on Sharecg is a prime example, but they got smart and set it up so that you can't block it) really slow down or destabilize the browser, or they're highly annoying because they're animated. (BTW, I wouldn't have even tried to block the Sharecg one were it not for the fact that it's annoyingly animated and messes up my browser)
So to break it down, these are the types of ads I hate:
--Animated or flashing ads
--Popup ads
--Ads which slow or destabilize the browser
--Too many or bigass ads that fill the page
--Ads which mess up the intended page layout
--Ads which throw off error scripts in Firefox
And yes, I use adblock.

I realize this is intended as a joke, however, Tthey wouldn't be able to do that without violating the constitution/4th amendment (for non-Americans, it's our amendment on rights to privacy and ownership-- I'm pretty sure most industrialized countries possess similar enough laws that a company or individual couldn't legally do that). With the internet it's different because the WWW is a public place, and websites are someone else's private property that you are stepping into, as you would a supermarket or giftshop. Same rule applies to television (the public airways are public property, while other channels are private property)
Advertising beams, OTOH, entail penetrating your private property-- AFAIK, any technology that can do something like this requires a warrant (with the exception of anything that can be seen from a public road) or a contract/agreement (which I could easily envision companies, including online ones, would include either in their privacy policy or in a checkbox, or in fine print)
There should be a special circle of hell just for the purveyors of these ads. They really get up my nose as well.
wuh ohs, spotted only moments again
Unfortunately, this isn't the case. For one thing, the 4th amendment only constrains what the government can do. Private businesses are not constrained by the Bill of Rights -- they don't have to grant you freedom of speech or religion or assembly on their property. (I was going to say that there are other laws that prohibit private businesses from unreasonable search and seizure, but given that a bank recently went into the wrong house thinking they had foreclosed on it and removed and disposed of the contents, and isn't being forced to make restitution, I'm not so sure). Secondly, I don't thing the argument necessarily follows -- one would hope that beaming ads into your brain would be considered different from putting up a billboard right outside your window, but since it hasn't been addressed that is unknown. Putting unsolicited information in front of you is not the same as searching or removing.
