Wakeskating.com banners

Dave, how does it come that I have ad banners from Switzerland next to the wakeskating.com logo (at the top of the screen)? Adware and spyware on my computer??? Shocked

Or a strategic choice made by the wakeskating.com Board of Directors? Laughing

BTW: those banners aren't a problem for me at all. I'm just curious...

EvanPark, he wasnt saying it was a problem there were ads, he was just wondering how it knew he was in switzerland.

i believe they just read your IP or something and figure your general location. its not spyware or adware or anything like that so dont worry.

Paul,
The banners are part of an ad network that I use. I have no idea how their system decides what ads to show you, but I do know that it is not spyware.
