A lot of it is "social outrage", but not necessarily actual outrage. I'm a marketing person, I enjoy porn, but I won't advertise on porn sites because a.) I don't want to position brands next to it and b.) Even if I did, people in companies I represent would raise the same issue. But there's no "outrage" from myself, for sure.
There are other reasons too. For example, porn sites are known for shitty advertising (popups, popunders, accidental clicks, etc.) so people like me who haven't researched it at all think firstly are these techniques required to get good results from porn sites (I don't want to use them) and secondly will my adverts be assumed to be shitty just by their placement next to other shitty adverts?
- volokoumphetico 13y agoif you've spoofed your referral links, how would they ever know?
- corin_ 13y agoI don't lie to my clients about where I spend their money - and even if I wanted to, I wouldn't manage to do it without them noticing.
- volokoumphetico 13y agothat's all good and fine on paper but seriously, how would they ever know that the new add for McDonald's new menu item appeared beside hurrdrurr.com/the-one-with-midget-horse-and-tall-lady.html
- corin_ 13y agoThere's a lot of clever tracking tools in the world
- L_Rahman 13y agoThere's a possibility that the client may be a user of the porn site where he advertises.

- volokoumphetico 13y agobut who would ever admit to it? Gee, I was trying to jerk off to some porn yesterday and I found our ad on the site.
