Website ads

I just went to www.maclife.com and was immediately presented with a full-page ad that I had to skip to continue to the M|L website.

I realize that ads generate revenue and those page-jump interruptors make money, but how in the heck does it make sense to have one as a splash page for the main M|L website?

Re: Website ads

It has been happening to others for a long time now. Is this the first you have seen it?

Re: Website ads

I am tired of seeing it. Is there a way to write a script or something to skip those pages. All I get to see is a blank image because I have adblock for safari.

If there was, it would unfortunately be a violated of teh rulez to discuss it hereabouts. big_smile
