Not fair to put it in the title as their money keeps the site going but what's the point Newegg advertising on this site, mainly UK based if they don't want to sell to others than Americans and Puerto Ricans ?
Someone please enlighten me.

Whats politically incorrect about that? There are a fair number of US users knocking around though, so its worth it, and i imagine they just say to their agency we want x number of ads on tech forums, hexus is a tech forum so there you go.
Hexus has a worldwide prescence and as such even has some location aware adverts ( ie you dont get the UK adverts if you browse form the states I believe )

The newegg.com banners are targetted at the US audience of HEXUS.net, now if you are seeing them then this is most likely because you are going through a US proxy for your web browsing.
For example, if you are at work, does your network go through the USA? Do you still see the new egg adverts when you are at home?
HEXUS.net prides itself on its technology, and we have worked very hard to have a geotargetted advertisement system, but unfortunatly the way the world works is no system is perfect.
I have also changed the thread title as its not exactly accurate to your query

Please do not message me about Scan Free shipping, I no longer work for HEXUS.net
the location specific stuff is pretty sweet, well, unless its for 'hot ladies in your area'
Was going through a Marriot Hotel Wifi in Paris. I named it politically incorrect because it's not really good to criticise advertisers... Sorry if I upset you all, I had never noticed it before !
I get newegg banners at work and thats a uk university...Originally Posted by Matt D
it could be JANet routing via the US for budget reasons ?
I dont know the specifics on how the Geosensetivity works , but is possible there are some anomalies in its table of IP / Country![]()

Some people just like to throw the phrase "politically correct" about when they can't think of a better argument.
I dont find that politically correct...its not some people...its all peopleOriginally Posted by Mike Fishcake
