ROBLOX should seriously monitor off-site ads. Anyone remember the virus ad appocalypse? Today I saw an ad for Mine Craft, and ROBLOX says your not supposed to advertise other games. Ironic much?

Some of our ads are based on what you search for. You did something that was related to MC or was on a page that was related to MC in some for or another, subtle or blatant, and therefore google spies on you and makes you see ads related to what you view.

"Today I saw an ad for Mine Craft, and ROBLOX says your not supposed to advertise other games. Ironic much?" I LOVE MC. It's really epic. :D "Anyone remember the virus ad appocalypse?" No. But I'll take your word for it. "ROBLOX should seriously monitor off-site ads." Eh... I'm pretty sure the ads are ran by Google. :c -Virtualdarks

Well, Google pays ROBLOX for the ads, so shouldn't ROBLOX have a say in what goes in THEIR site? BTW I love MC too, I got like 3 servers on the same PC.

Tech No, people pay Google to advertise on peoples' sites and since google is so widely known a ton of companies use it which means it's the biggest moneymaker in terms of sponsorship. ROBLOX's site has spaces reserved for ads and since it has a plugin by Google for ads, companies paying Google to advertise them usually take up those spaces. Or something like that.

People "hacking" companies is very unlikely. Most maleware and virus spreading websites just make up their own ads, not just magically hack other companies.
