iVillage Renounces Pop-up Advertising

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-there-was-great-rejoicing dept.

ceejayoz writes "iVillage.com, a popular women's portal, announced today that it is getting rid of pop-up advertising on its site after a survey of their users found 95% considered it the most annoying part of the Internet. Lets hope they can prove there are other, less annoying advertising models that work!"

  1. What did the 5% say? by doorbot.com · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Did they enjoy the popups? Or maybe they were too busy trying to punch the monkey and so they accidentally clicked the wrong option. Or maybe they use Mozilla, and thus aren't bothered by popup ads.

    Then again, perhaps that's just statistical error.

    Better yet, does anyone have a pre-compiled list of ad servers for insertion into my Mozilla prefs? I've blocked a few ad sites in the weeks I've been using Mozilla, but I'm guessing someone has a list already...
