I've seen these repetitive lines before but just for fun, I clicked on the "revolver" link and was whisked off to the "Palmetto State Armory" which therefore suggests a rotation of "landing sites" (aka: advertisers).
Before clicking, though, I "hovered" for even more fun and learned the tag was supplied by "Viglink" and about which Wikipedia (the following content of which is old, stale but nonetheless "supplied by Google"):
"VigLink is a San Francisco-based, outbound-traffic monetization service for publishers, forums, and bloggers. VigLink specializes in in-text advertising and marketing. VigLink CEO Oliver Roup founded the company in March 2009. In 2012, Oliver Roup reported VigLink was working on 5 billion pages per month. Wikipedia"
I''ll need to sit on this for awhile and think, but my first impression is my being bummed about the advertising aspect inasmuch as I "donate" for the sake of being freed from tripping over advertisers in this forum.
