Ads in Somalinet Homepage

[Demure]

When you visit the main page of this site you can't help but notice all these different advertisments; Make cheap calls, Get Yahoo, Free T-Mobile cell phones, Frontier Airlines - low fares (like anybody flies Frontier), Holiday shopping with Google....etc

Don't these companies know Somalis are probably not the best audience to invest in any kind of marketing let alone an online one? They probably generate less than 1% hits from this site.

Have any of you ever shopped through this site before? or even further investigated those ads?

I remember leaving once for a week because they had some Indian matrimonial ad, aad bey iga xanaajisay.

The ads are automatically generated. What is advertised here depends on what kinds of topics are discussed here in the forums.

[Gatspy]

The "Travel to Isreal" was by far the worst ad i've seen here.

[Enemy_Of_Mad_Mullah]

worst 1 i have seen is porn

[Raaxeeye!]

The advertisment companies only care about the hits each site creates not the background of their visitors.


I'm not a fan of online-Shopping.

Samater, I know you signed up in the Indian matrimonial site as "Can jeex"

Ugaas, are the ones in the main page auto- generated as well?

This could be an opportunity to the business oriented minds to for example; Advertise/Sell things of interest to Somalis, something that people would most likely buy, after all Somalinet prides itself on the many visitors that come through here daily.

Go to one of Afdhere's gay threads and you'll see gay Dating ads.

Samatr

The only thing worse then indian sambuusa is sambuusa with malaay/kaluun

[Samatr]

I had some sambuuso today from cousins makhaayad, there was some old dude selling the food. I specifically asked for hilib sambuuso, I received on kaluun sambuuso in the four I bought. I was furious, this is not the first time the old guy messed my order but you know you cant really say anything to old people since its rude to correct old people.

[Demure]

Samater, I guess you missed the Can Jeex joke? did you people not watch Hindi movies back in the day? Can Jeex was a famous Indian actor although no Somali could probably tell you his real name. All because he had a scar on his cheek!

Anyway, yeah their sambuusa gives me a heart burn. Yuck!

[Ashlee~]
