Is anyone still seeing Freeride Systems Banner ads in October?

[Micol]

Is anyone still seeing Freeride Systems Banner ads in October around the forums? If so, please let me know and what city, state or region your are in please.

This is the 2nd or 3rd year I have paid for ads only to see irregular delivery. I am not seeing any of my ads on the forums, since September yet the rep says they are being delivered. I have friends and myself looking for them and all we have seen are 10 Barrel Brewery and "CORRECTED": Snowbird takeover ads. I cannot get a straight answer from sales. I cannot tell if the ads are playing in anywhere except where we reside I ( I am located in the Colorado mountains) because they "tune" ads by IP address.

updated info:
Contract is just for impressions and money
Places where my Rep agreed to run my ads starting in August " The entire USA "
Can't remember if Canada included
Europe was not
I asked about blockage by overtaking campaigns buyouts through Christmas and was told about 1 short one in Nov or something
for a ski related company. Will have to dig through emails if it is really important

Updated Locations

Places where ads are being displayed and I am burning off ad impressions $$$:

Nashville, TN
a part of Vermont (Southern Vermont)
Charlotte, NC



Places I am not having any ads displayed:

Colorado
Pacific North West ( Washington, Oregon reporting so far)
Utah
Montana
California
Eastern Canada ( can't remember if this was to be included to be fair)
Idaho
Nevada
Northern, NY
Massachusetts (Boston, )
Magic Mountain area VT
DPRK


Last time these markets remember seeing my ads: weeks ago, or maybe September

thanks,

but no , those types of ads have specific names and most brands use them (like "behavioral" ads) . Companies pay google adwords or some other secondary supplier company for those. I don't use them because I think its creepy. I hate being followed like that myself. I specifically give TGR suits my money direct because I want to pay back the community platform that helped me in the early days. But, when I can't find my own ads and dollars are flying out the door, I become disappointed.

[Bobby Stainless]

I have no idea who 10 Barrel is.

my rep won't tell me what is going on and did not tell me back in July about any takeovers except one ski brand that was doing one day in October or November. Now its non stop with all these other companies while my money is being used up in markets like Tennessee, Kentucky , Missouri etc when i paid for delivery to all states - doesn't seem right. The rep blames it on an algorithm, I call BS

[iceman]

Just reloaded 10 times:
9- 10 Barrel
1- Ski City
0- Anything else

[Micol]

I have no idea who 10 Barrel is.

Somebody with big $$$ or friends at TGR that can push out people like me with a big fat check and no advanced warning from the tgr sales rep who sells me ads

Thanks, specifics like that are very helpful as I am just having money taken but have no control where my advertising is being seen

OK

The past few days the add I see is for Snowbird;

been the same for 3 days = Powder too Deep

[Micol]

I pay for consistent ad delivery through banners from Aug-Dec. I was told one day there would be a company that did a take over of the whole site meaning all you would see is them, now these mini takeovers are happening for weeks at a time and sounds like different in every market with SW Colorado seeing one thing and never me, SLC seeing something else and never me, etc

I don't give a flip about ads, i did it because i felt is was honorable to do. But , i have better uses for money than to just give it away.

[MTT]

That said.

I have seen your adds.

And I know who you are.

Same on LinkedIn

Now i realize that was snowbird not vail logo, my bad , that's the one I'm seeing too in middle of mountains in Colorado, along with 10 Barrel
