Thanks to providing that "links to here" I was easily able to find and deactivate them! Luckily there were only about 100 shown. It will take 1 hour for them to be off the network, if you see them still tomorrow let me know. :D

Mike.

Heres one that doesn't bother me too much, but would to other people (I just turn my sound off on the keyboard). It features the sound of a mosquito permanently on, and looped.

***Edit - oh drat, I've gone and lost the screen shot***
Its for
http://www.consumersavingcentre.co.uk/

The Tag line is "Zap the mosquito and win a free laptop"

Its a dark blue background, interactive flash thing-a-me-jig, with a mosquito flying around, and the word zap is in large yellow letters at the left hand side

Got it, luckily only 65 of those have been shown (it was a new ad).

That was a challenge to find as the ad wasn't called what it redirected the visitor to. :(

I also found 2 "chicken crossing the street" ones that clucked, clucked all the time.. argh! LOL...

Glad to make visiting the site that much less annoying for our vistiors. :D

Mike.

You'd think eventually these advertisers would wise up and spend some time and thought into their ads. I don't mind ads altogether, but most of the net ads are just plain lazy junk.

It's strange like that since they are spending money to get their ads out there. I think what is happening is people are de-sensitized to internet ads.

While I can't removed all the ads I do try my best to get rid of the most annoying ads to TMW visitors. :D It's something I'll do and take a revenue cut to keep visitors happy that other sites definately won't do. :D

Mike.
