New Advertising on Snack Girl

The first ad I saw wasn't even for food it was for Toyota tires.

It's not so much seeing the ad, it's that they make it difficult for the reader to follow the blog. This is not specific to your site, it happens to me every day and sometimes you never get to finish what you were trying to read. I have no answer. It's just the way things are now.

I don't think seeing a DD ad or a MCD ad is a problem. It's not your fault so will just keep reading. Good Luck and keep up the good work you do ! Leslie

You'll be pleased to know that the two ads I see on this page right now are for Target organic groceries and free-range eggs. Though now that you've mentioned Dunkin' Donuts, I could really go for a Coolatta...just kidding, of course. :)

Today's Ads are Penzoil and Rubbermaid. I do hate Ads, expecially the pop up ones. But your still worth reading and I am thankful for all your hard work. Glad you can make a living doing something you enjoy!

My add is something I recently looked up..memory foam mattress haha!! So it doesn't offend me...but I have been meaning to ask you..could you do some research on pure leaf tea?? I'm a real drinker..but I typically like it cool...I brew a cup at night..and drink it in the morning. I discovered pure leaf and thought it seemed like the closest thing to real tea I could buy in a bottle..I drink unsweetened, what are your thoughts.. Thanks!

lots of ads but I would miss you so much so I sometimes ignore or go in and object....Honda I can handle ..LOL....Love you

I would like to read your thoughts on the substitution of celery salt for the unhealthy nitrates and nitrites the industry is giving us, which I am trying to reduce significantly in our diet. From what I am reading, it appears to me that celery salt is equally bad for us.

I am only seeing an ad for kitty beds on PetSmart! :-)

Don't sweat the small stuff. We will keep you. Ha. I'm seeing 'no yolk noodles' and Samsung. Not bad.

Fran Steidel on April 27, 2016

I really love your site and I could care less about the ads. I realize that you are not the one choosing them. Just write on and keep informing us about the important stuff. Ads are in magazines, movies, online, tv, radio, billboards..... I think you get the point, they are everywhere. It does not mean you are endorsing them.

I believe for the most part you will see ads for things you have recently searched. I'm seeing ads for Nike and Fabric.com. Which was a helpful reminder that I still need new running shoes and fabric for living room curtains!!! ;)

I agree that sometimes ads can be "overpowering" and make it difficult to read the actual content, but so far the ads on your blog are easy to scroll past and continue reading. Keep up the excellent work!!!

For me it's not so much the ad content (though meat ads on a vegan site for example would be a deal breaker for me) after all we're all exposed to objectionable ads all day. What I can't stand is when a pop up blocks text so that I can't read it. Then I typically give up after awhile.

I am seeing an ad for Amazon Fresh. It's fine--I like Amazon. Keep up the good work! I love your easy, healthy recipes and shared many of them and your blog with my coworkers during National Nutrition Month. The photo of the tulips is lovely:)

I have no problem seeing the ads. After all these years on Weight Watchers food ads don't even phase me anymore. Just keep doing what you're doing. I appreciate it!! :)

Kathy on April 27, 2016

I don't mind ads but what I see is like a slideshow. Ads are constantly moving in some way such as clothing scrolling across the screen or popping up between paragraphs making you scroll Down About an inch or so to the continuation of your article. But won't stop me from reading.

Marlene on April 27, 2016

Who pays attention to the ads anyway? Not me!!! The ones I always see are things I've googled or recently viewed. So keep on keeping on Snack Girl!!

Another option is AdBlock. Works for me, not seeing any ads. The people running the ads don't like this, but I sure enjoy how much my old computer doesn't bog down as often.

Kevin on April 27, 2016

I see an ad for the MS walk. I love your blog and look forward to the short daily tips you have. Sometimes the topic is of no interest to me, but I LOVE that it's always short and most of the time informative to me and I often pass along the info to others. Ads are just a sign of our times. I don't watch much tv anymore, the Internet is my screen of choice. You need to earn money somehow and I really appreciate that we get to read for free....well at least not pay a subscription rate to you. I'm most interested in quick healthy meals my teenagers will eat and your reviews of various food & beverage products.

Colleen on April 27, 2016

It's funny how we are all looking at the same blog, but the ads are so different! The one showing for me is about playground equipment :)

Cindy VanFrankfoort on April 27, 2016

As Kevin mentioned, Adblock works for me too. My son put it on my MacbookPro so I don't know if both are needed to rid ads. There are two icons in the upper right of my screen to indicate Adblock is installed. One is a "upright hand in an orange circle" which tallies ads blocked; the other icon is a "broom in an orange circle" called AdblockPro. Hope this helps. Love Snack Girl every day including readers' comments!

Lisa, It seems like ads are on just about every site I go to.. I don't think it can really be advoided.

Now onto what I would like you to discuss is the best artificial sweetner out there on the marketfor people who have to watch their sugar intake.

I have been reading your blog for quite some time, i'm guessing at least 4-5 years..

Keep up the good work....
