Laughable Ad Delivery Problem — AdBlade Has

Strange pictures make me question AdBlade ads.

A couple weeks ago I saw an ad on Statesman.com for refinancing your home:

The ad caught my attention since, while the couple on the bottom looks like they had success refinancing their home, the man on the top looks like he missed his refinance closing since he was stoned.

The ad was served by an online advertising firm called AdBlade. Today another AdBlade ad, this one running on Accuweather, caught my eye:

Let’s ignore the funny looking guy who’s refinancing his home for a minute. The other four pictures, all for teeth whitening, are perplexing. Apparently there are three secrets to whiter teeth: chew on a sugar cube, chew on a die, or suck on a glowing ball. Hmm.

So my first reaction was that AdBlade is only running two offers and isn’t doing a good job serving them. But maybe they’re just really smart. Both ads did catch my attention, right? Although even if I clicked, I don’t think misleading pictures would get me to convert into a client.
