So uh

This doesn't look like "Project Wonderful". Looks like Google Adsense to me. What happened here?

Well to me it changes every time to a new one and most of them are even relative to my own language and not only english.

In general though, I won't really mind on that ad though even by it's changes and other related stuff as of what happened.

What puzzles me is that it says "Your ad here, right now", and then a specific ad cost.

That's how project wonderful works. People pay for the advertising space, and the more people bid on the space, the higher the price.

What I was really wondering is how the Google Adsense is able to affect the cost of a Project Wonderful ad. I just don't see how it should. I've even read the Project Wonderful Terms and Conditions,

It doesn't. The ad being displayed isn't a project wonderful ad, but a Google Adsense ad. Either Joey removed the code for the Project Wonderful banner and forgot the text under it or is trying to trick users into thinking it's actually a project wonderful ad. I doubt it's the latter, but it certainly is a possibility.

When scripts are blocked, I see the Project Wonderful ad (I have an exception for Project Wonderful as I've registered an account there, though I have yet to put the account to use). I think the PW ad appears underneath the AdSense Ad. Maybe one ad was supposed to appear below the other one?

EDIT: I actually clicked the "Your ad here" button, and I see that the Project Wonderful banner space for these forums is completely empty. But the ad cost displayed here is $0.30 for me, while I see $0.07 on PW's site (both prices are for Canadian traffic).

I have Google ads displaying through Project Wonderful (this is a feature PW provides). Sometimes they will bid the highest and other times it will be normal PW ads.

I didn't know this was a feature. Alright, that explains it then.

I never saw either of those ads. But I did see an ad on SMW Central that was just the word "Butts" in grey text on a white background. I don't know if it appeared in the U.S., but on PW's website, I did see it for Canada, Europe, and Worldwide.

But what's wrong about Walmart, I don't find it wrong to show up an ad like that.

Nobody said there was anything wrong with Walmart. It's just that Walmart is a Google ad instead of a Project Wonderful ad, and that's why there was confusion.

I thought that it was funny, but I never seen this add appear on this website before.
