Why are there ads on twitter now?

[Cherie]

I logged into my twitter account and every link I press won't work plus there are ads on there now! is this just me?

[Jerry Stringeflow]

Who cares. Go out and talk to people in real life. That's ad free.

[Blah]

The only adds I see are ones that people are linking in their updates


Make sure you're on their website for sure before entering in personal information.
It may be a fake

there are ads beacuse that is how a free service makes money, people pay a big name site (like twitter) to post there ads all over the sites so they get more people interested in there product (when really it just pisses us off) but the link problem im not sure, leave it for a day and theyll probs fix it

[Jenny]

That's the way they make money..

That's just you. My Twitter works perfectly fine when it comes to the links. And, just ignore the ads. They don't do anything bad - they're just there so people can get some extra cash, you know?

Use Mozilla Firefox to start with. They have a very handy ad blocker that cleaned up all the crap on my FB pages. Easy download, once you have Firefox installed, if you don't already.

Get Firefox :

Get Adblock Plus :

If your using IE, use it one last time - to download Firefox! You'll never go back....
