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!"
