Anybody else find that the ads on Google are beginning to push out what you are looking for?
I just had (first page)
3 ads
3 hits
3 more ads.......

Yes, they know when I get up and make a cup of tea - it's like big brother!

Go to Google Ads preferences and opt out. There are other sources of ads, but this should fix the Google ones.

Once again Annobel you have come to our rescue - just done it - thanks flowers

Thanks, Annobel....I think I have now oted out of all things possible - I hope!
I didn't know you could do this.

Annobel is it possible to do something similar on the yahoo pages?

I don't know, is the honest answer. You might find the solution by surfing the net. If you're a Yahoo subscriber, their home page or their search page might give you some answers.
