I was told (or read somewhere), that they (the company that pays BB) use a type of tracking ad software based on the websites you have visited to target prospective buyers.

I do believe their is some truth to it. I know I get Frederick's of Hollywood emails, and after I visited their website, I've seen more of their ads on BB. The same thing with Newegg.com

WHy all this raunchy stuff. Is this the future of BB? Is this the company you keep?

The BBs do not exactly pick the ads, they are force-fed by the companies that provide the ad deals. That is how the web advertising generally works (or doesn't work, methinks). If there are offensive ads, there is a BB you can inform about it (I think it is Edju, but I may be wrong). They do their best to block unwanted stuff like sites that have malware. I don't know where the line is drawn regarding scantily dressed ladies, but certainly it is not a BB goal to put as many of those ads on your screen as possible.

I was complaining about those mailorder bride-websites a long time ago, I thinks those ads are racist and absolutely inapropriate for a game like BB.

This is untrue. A site this size should be doing their own negotiating for web advertising. Using something akin to adsense is unprofitable, and non-negotiable.

mostly you sell advertising package, since there are more profitable since they make ad who are disered by the surfer - so that they generate more money for both sides. Both normally you can say we don't want to have this or this advertisement on our site, in sending them a mail or using a web formular.

I am quite sure a BB will take a look at those ads soon.

It seems to be the case here. I think you may overestimate the resources that BB has for dealing with the ad companies, or non-ad companies willing to advertise on BB. It can be argued that they should do more or better, but I tend to believe they are doing what they can with current resources. I think they will also welcome all help if there is a user who is willing and able to improve things (with hands-on work).
