B]JUST REMOVED THE ACTUAL PRODUCT AND WEBSITE NAME FROM HERE[/Butm_source=BoardsIE&utm_medium=Affiliate

It's not a google advert?
Curious as to how doubleclick.net and adtech.de link in together.

Does the very last line suggest boards.ie are an affiliate of said website?

As I said just curious.

It would appear that boards.ie are using Dart (A Google Product) as their ad serving platform. This is common.
