I just and a damned banner ad talk to me. I don't give a shit about iPod nanos I haven't actually won. Please configure your ad service to prevent talking ads. I don't mind the ads. I know they generate cash. However, ads with audio are even more evil than animated flash ads. There's a line between generating revenue and harassing your user base. I promise, I don't need a multi-sensory advertising experence.

crazyj is experimenting with a relatively new internet phenomina, called "e-darwinism"...those that dont have adblock suffer

IE Folks:
Internet Options > Security > Restricted Sites

Add ads.jolinko.com to prevent a large amount of these annoying ads from loading.

So what happens to their ad revenue when everyone starts using ad-blocker?

6/28/2007 1:07:49 AM

^ ive been wondering about that too. do the advertisers know its been blocked, or do they think its a view?

i also notice a lot more ads on some sites going to adobe flash, which dont get adblocked.

I work for the advertisers. The answer is yes, TWW still gets paid if the user has adblock.

Maybe put together and send an informal survey to the advertisers showing them how many users have switched to using ad-block. If advertisers start pulling ads maybe TWW will be opt for requiring less annoying ads.

it's funny that you all are complaining about what the advertisers do on this website

seeing how TWW is partially OWNED by the advertisers

And when you don't like what someone does with a product you:

1) Complain and hope they fix it

then

2) Stop using it

-Or-

3) Take it up the ass and accept it.


Not sure why step one confuses you.
