Well, I thought it might be appropriate to dredge this thread up. There is a new ad that talks on the site.
It says "congratulations, you won"
What is that in the bottom left hand side of the banner? I can't quite make out the first letter of that network name. Without more identifying information it is virtually impossible to track down.Jordan, have you been able to do anything about this set of ads (there are several of them)? They really are very annoying, at least to me. Their internal volume, if you want to call it that, seems to be set quite high, meaning that they're pretty loud and obnoxious even when you have your speaker volume turned down. At least they aren't as bad as that Pacman one you've since gotten rid of.
I know the ads you're talking about - they are horrific, and you have probably seen them on almost every site around the web. Whoever is behind this campaign is dropping a serious amount of money into the campaign. As you may or may not know, the bottom has fallen out of the ad market, and I suspect most webmasters are leaving them up for the same reason I am - we can't afford not to. I hate to say that, but with larger companies severely cutting their ad budgets, it cheapens our inventory and allows less tasteful advertisers to sneak their way in via advertising networks. Let's just hope the economy comes back soon...
Oh well, I guess they're just a reason to keep the volume muted except when watching videos.
