ad banner mis-linking

[Yoshi]

ad banners (sponsored, not the "turbo any car for $69.99" ones at the bottom... ya, why do we encourage that stuff anyways?)...

So ya, more often than not, when I click a sponsor banner, it doesn't take me to the sponsor i'm trying to get to, it goes to a sponsor's link sure enough, but I have about a 50% chance of getting to the one i was intending to. Example, I want to go to Boostaholic.org, I see the ad at the top, *click* next thing I know I'm at ImportIntelligence.com... does this happen to anyone else? Or is it part of Mark's master plan to get more than 1 click out of the sponsor banner ad space? In which case, that's genius, hahaha! Wish I'd thought of it!

I just tried six different banners and they all worked fine.

i think hes talking about the ads by google adwords.. and i think those are random by google and help pays for the server/fees/bandwith blah blah

it's supposed to do that. it's a mis-linking system. it allows the ads to keep bringing in money even when the forum is slowing down.
