That bugs the manure outta me too. We try to learn and be smart about targeting our traffic, not promoting mature content for teen sites, etc. But then, sponsors (and I include a couple of big ones here) will do the most self-defeating stuff. Like if I make a free site promoting asians, and am sending the surfer to (presumably) an Asian site for the sponsor, that sponsor will pop up a half-dozen consoles immediately, in front of the tour I'm sending the surfer to, for mature, gangbang, etc. - pretty much guaranteeing that the surfer's never gonna see that Asian tour I tried so hard to convince him to visit.
I'm sure they do marketing research that convinces them this is a Good Thing, but it sure seems counter-intuitive to me.
