1. Ads rotate in based on your viewing habits and words on the page.

I don't see the ad, myself.

3. I even took a screen shot of it....I'd post it but dont know how. n/t

8. I've gotten Coulter and worse ads here at DU.

Google ads know best.

10. I always thought the site owners had control over what advertisers showed up. sigh...

2. Not seeing it

Turned off Adblock and I see nothing but Gore, Kerry, Palast, and a VW ad.

12. OK

Save it like a picture, ending in .jpg, .gif, .bmp...etc. Get a free account at Photobucket. Upload it to them. They will give you a URL for the picture. Post the URL in your message here. The picture will show up. The URL should end in something like .jpg, etc.

6. Maybe because robo advertising responds to who's looking at it.

:shrug:

Maybe it thinks you want to buy a Coulter book because someone using your computer recently went to a site where Coulterites tend to flock? (I don't get any Coulter ads when I go there.)

14. I have seen Coulter ads on DU and clicked on them

My understanding is that it costs the advertiser every time somebody clicks on their ad. I don't mind seeing rightwing ads on this site on in The Nation magazine. To me, that is like trying to sell a life preserver to a dolphin. Advertise all you want, the dolphins are not gonna buy.

I did, however, think about writing a screed about the ads on Air America radio. Crimeny, but those ads are advertising crap. Buncha get rich quick scams and such. Is that what Madison avenue thinks liberals will buy?

7. I see John Kerry and Teresa, Al Gore, Greg Palast, The Power of the Vote,

Peace Be Upon You, and an exhortation to oppose the nomination of a former Enron Exec.

Not a Coulter to be seen, anywhere.

11. Ask them. n/t

16. So you don't have to pay to read their site?

Just a guess...
