Gold Farming Ad

Post by Touristguide » Wed Jul 16, 2014 9:50 am

So I was checking prices of the Drygore weapons and then decided to look at my next rare-ware purchase and noticed the advertisement. This was not photo-shopped in. Very ironic huh!

hahaha that's pretty funny, props to the person posting that ad! or maybe it's jagex trying to trick people into trying it and then banning their account soon as they enter to buy some...

Every year or so there's a picture like this popping up somewhere. Truth is, Jagex pays Google (or another agency) to manage the ads for them, but a few RWT sites get through every now and then due to false presentation.
Bluntly put, I can go on and sell strap-ons by telling the advertisers I'm publishing a site full of RS guides..

I had an awesome signature, but the internet went bankrupt.

jagex sells the right to advertise to a company who uses google to get the types of things you go to, in your case runescape. then they rent that space to company relevant to what you look at.. which so happened to be rsgp sellers lol
