Now that I have your attention... :wink:
I suggest a poll on that obnoxious tribalfusion "WINNER" ad
that shows up like an uninvited party drunk on various pages
on PPCT. Who screens these ads Jason? That one is not just a sight for sore eyes it may be medically dangerous...

Reflex Epilepsy
Generated by flashing lights, alternating light/dark lines or synchronous flickers.

Maybe it's just me.
Maybe I'm just in a cranky mood.

What does anyone else think?

Edit:
OH, nevermind! I know those ads, and they are so annoying. I did plan to become a subscriber sometime soon, but the bigcheese is hostile towards me :(

The one I see the most is the muvee autoproducer on nearly everypage - and that is hardly to do with the ppc.

I've blocked all ads that fall under the "flashing" category - now we'll just see how accurate Tribal Fusion's classification system is...

If you don't like the ads just send money to the J-Dude and you can turn them off! :D

Thanks Jason.
Justin - I'm waiting to grab it when and if it shows...

I think you should become a subscriber, support this site, and block all the ads. Problem solved! :wink:

Could I become a member and still have the adds? I love to see what's out there. I usually click on them.

Absolutely. Ad blocking is turned OFF by default, so you'll see the ads unless you go into your preferences and turn them off. I like it when people like to see ads. ;-)

Yes you can...

Yes, I have left the ads on.

Personally, I have a problem with ads that say "You've Won" or something of the sort when that really is not true. Very misleading.

That flashing "WINNER" ad was your subscription one wasn't it Jason!???
LOL. :lol:

Noel

PS. I'll think about it - now that it's history - and keep up the GREAT work Jason!

I agree, but unfortunately no one has yet invented an "honesty in advertising" filter. :lol:

What would be great if we could filter the ads ourselves. I have no problem with the tech ads, in fact I've followed the links and bought from them.

I can't stand the dumb Tribalfusion flashing and generally tacky ones. I appreciate the reason they have to be there sometimes. Shame the PPC based companies don't cough up more advertising money.

I just saw another add saying:

You are visitor #857336 to this site.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE WON ! [click here]

Flashing flashing.

Some of the ads i dont like so i usually ignore them. If a software is unfamiliar to myself then i click on it to check it out.
muvee one i have seen a lot of, it is for certain a 'larger' ad.
