Sponsored Advertising Links

Hello,
I am new to this game but when I looked yesterday on the sponsored advertising links there was a company offering good deals up until the end of April 2005. I have clicked on the sponsored advertising links today and the company offering the deal appears to have gone and replaced by a new one. Are the sponsored advertising links changed on a regular basis? Can you tell me who the sponsored advertising links were for 26/10/204?
Many thanks
B

Hi B

Sorry, but the adverts are provided by Google and I have no knowledge or control over what adverts appear, or when. In theory, Google "reads" the page and provides adverts targetted at the type of content appearing on the page. By and large, it works well.

I have no knowledge what adverts appear at any time. However, from general knowledge of how the system works, I can tell you that it is very highly unlikely that a particular advert would have appeared yesterday and then not today. Use the same forum that you used yesterday - as I say, the adverts will/can change on a page by page basis. Also, try first thing in the morning. Advertisers can set a daily advertising budget. They get charged every time somebody clicks on the advert. They will dissapear from the listings if/when their daily budget has been exceeded.

Or indeed, keep refreshing the page and watch the feed change until you spot the one from previously. It's also possible the link may appear "visited" if you've not flushed the cache etc.

(or indeed check your history in your browser).

Very helpful you'll find them as well.

Made me a superb offer but I couldn't afford the upgrade on Excel on top and the missus was scared by the no seat back entertainment of Excel Economy - or rather the thought of our nipper enduring 9 hours without it!
