I'm aware of where we are...
A) The linked article was on Ziff Davis, which is why I put the P.S. to their attention.
B) That's why I don't patronize Ziff Davis' site but, rather, registered the comment here.
C) Whatever the file format, they're obnoxious and counterproductive and won't result in any revenue from me.
regards,
Dave |

Re: Oh, P.S. to Ziff Davis:
Been to MSNBC.com. They don't allow you to go to a new section without first viewing an advertisement.
At least they aren't porno ads... |

A) This is DSLReports, not ZDNet.
b) ZDNet has been placing ads in the body of documents for moths now.
c) Those are usually Flash movies, not an animated GIF.
I agree that the ads are obnoxious and distracting, but ad-supported sites are trying to find new ways to attract attention to the ads in order to get more clicks. Being annoying is one way to get attention, but it may not result in more clicks, only negative sentiment. |

Dear Ziff Davis (re: the above mentioned article on your web site),
It's bad enough to see flashing banner ads at the TOP of the screen, but at least we can scroll past them. Placing animated gif's INSIDE the body of the text is really annoying. Please reconsider this practice.
