Guest Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 This is why loads of people use adblock. I know its bad for sites but if enough people keep getting ads from sites like that, then they will go else where. Use ads that are not as intrusive and you will keep people. You will still make some ad revenue, maybe not as much as you would with the annoying ones but you will still keep people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiagosilva29 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I'd say 100% the ad companies, I can't see Steven doing this on purposeAll ad types are displayed with the consent of the end. This kind is risky but delivers more monies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 All ad types are displayed with the consent of the end. This kind is ricky but delivers more monies. I think companies either do not disclose, or hide, the type of ads they are planning on displaying, hoping to get away with it for so long until the site owner says otherwise I'm 99.9% sure and 101% certain that Neobond would not knowingly allow ads like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be a lot of screw-ups along the chain. The media agency could be doing shady stuff with their impressions rate. Or the supplier screwed the target list.

Xoligy Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Im pretty sure i read that he had some sort of control like the types of ads that were displayed and how. But i really can not remember and i blocked them a long time ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media agency could be doing shady stuff with their impressions rate. Or the supplier screwed the target list. I was suggesting the opposite! "LOLBIGNEOBONDWANTZMONIE$" is what the advertisers want us to think, do not fall into their trap, it is made of honey and tastes as sweet as a walnut, but the sting is like that of a thousand bees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xWhiplash Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I have not seen any annoying ads on my end. I am really getting annoyed with some websites lately. I think there was an ad on Weather once where it was about 720 pixels large. It used javascript to slide down slowly, and slide up slowly. So when I scrolled down to actually see my weather, as soon as I clicked a day, the slide up started to work so I clicked on the wrong day. Not to mention sites that have ads or videos that play sound automatically. Horrible web design work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
