New Ad network

October 22, 2004 at 05:34PM View BBCode

We've signed an agreement to start displaying banner ads from the advertising division of AskJeeves.com. I have set up the beta site to use these ads. Let me know if it causes you any problems.

Less importantly, let me know if there are any ads that you either find offensive, or have excessive animation or annoyance. They have way more ads than the other network we do business with - so its tough to go through and look at all the ads before going live.

I went throught it for a while. Most of the ads were "public service announcement"-type ads, and I got lots of repeats. Probably saw no more than a dozen unique ads.

Any ad that flashes is annoying!

Very obnoxious ad.

I suggest getting rid of all blinking and flashing ads. The link below opens a window displaying the offending ad.

I don't allow the ridiculous blinking or flashing ads. A little animation is fine though. If we didn't allow any animation, we'd have about 3 advertisers.

Can you describe the ad that you are seeing? The link doesn't seem to work.

The link works for me. I see a rapidly flashing ad stating:

WINNER! You Just Won $1000 in Grocery Coupons! WINNER!

The link also worked for me and I'd have to agree that its pretty obnoxious
