Annoying Adds

[SpongeBobby]

In your opinion, what is more annoying.

1. Pop-ups (only one for evertime you visit the main, maybe every page (i haven't built that far on this host))

2. Banners at the tops of pages?

Whoever thought of pop up ads should be drug into the streets and you know...

I can deal with banners, but pop ups are very annoying. (But I get block either in Mozilla :p).

Just for fun, the first XLink popup ad for the next generation of XML-friendly popups :D:

<advertisement xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://www.google.com" xlink:show="new" xlink:actuate="onLoad" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>

Could probably use some RDF metadata to describe the advertisement as well. :D

Oh, and BTW, since Mozilla supports simple XLink, you'll find that will popup a window to google. The next generation of ads, now! :)

Banners are fine as long as they're not too big and are tastefully designed. I particularly like some of the Flash ones, the vector graphics are sweet on the eyeballs.

Ones I hate are the flashing ones and those with text all around.

Popups are the worst, I hate them and they're poinless as I've closed them before they've loaded anyway.

Okay thanks...

My netfirms account has the VERY VERY VERY annoying one with the white bg and a red bg flasing really really fast. It drives me off of my own page. I just opened up an account at musicdot.com (it redirects you to where you need to go), love it, no banners, but it gives you 3 options:

Standard banner console (can't run the board i want with banners)

Popup Console (suitable for frames pages)

Email popup console - "Banner Free"

What is the difference between teh 2 pop ups??


Thanks

Maybe you should find another host ... You can get ad-free webpages for as little as $25 a year these days
