Probably because 1, you aren't a paid subscriber and 2, you don't run an ad blocker on the front end.
As a casual visitor you are subjected to ad's. Like any forum on the net, ad's support the forum's costs.
I don't get any ads at all.

What do you mean by a paid subscriber. I thought Orange Tractor Talk was free. I have been a member of this forum for 4 years.

Because your not a paid member, (paid members see way less ads)
Yes it's a free site, but someone gotta pay for us to play, advertising does that.
Lifetime membership is $40, so it doesn't break that bank to be a paid member.

Yea but you already got your $40 worth of info off OTT already, so it still was a win!At my age, life could be tomorrow.....
I run ad block everywhere and have been commercial free on TV since 1999 (my first TIVO). At this point I am actually offended to see an ad on TV, I feel like a $5.00 bill should come out for each one for me to watch it.
That being said I DO NOT RUN AD BLOCK on OTT. I even click on the ads occasionally. Being a webhost I totally understand the economy involved. Having the ad impression hit the page increases OTT's revenue as well as viability in a campaign.
One suggestion I have seen on many forums and would suggest they provide it here.
Allow advertisers a direct banner purchase on the site. You will get 20 or 30 core advertisers that will gladly pay for a direct link banner. It will pay for the site, it will be good community advertisers and a direct http link to their site is far more valuable than a Double-Click (normal banner ad company) click through ad. A click-through ad has no value to google on site ranks where actual direct http links are huge, especially when coming from a contextually relevant site.
You can even still run the click through banners.

More relevant ads would be nice. I usually visit on a work computer and without cookies every morning it starts with women's clothing ads...and some are bit risqué for work... Then after I visit my tractor sites and gun sites, the machine behind it all thinks I might be single and starts showing mail order bride ads!
Got my 40 bucks worth of grief too.....Yea but you already got your $40 worth of info off OTT already, so it still was a win!
