    Google adsense works that way. It takes what the website is about and advertises that. If the website is about hosting, it will advertise hosting. If the website is about games, it will advertise about games

    Can the admins not say "Do not advertise this category". I think advertising the competition is not a smart thing to do. :dunno:

    No because then the ads will become irrelevant

    What about advertising web design products or services?

    x10 does not intend to advertise any other host intentionally, if it comes up in an ad that is displayed at random, there's nothing much they can do about it is there?

    They don't bother me either, but if your getting frustrated about stoli then there is a huge banner advertising a "great" hosting service...

    ... You may have a point.
    But then, don't worry. I bet you many websites have ironic ads like this.
