Kyle,

I'm usually not one to complain, but I know you try to keep your ads on here relevant and not annoying, which I appreciate.

This add came up while I was sending a PM. Note I've only seen it ONCE so it could be a fluke or something, but thought you might like to be aware.

When the ad comes up, it flashes random colors on all the numbers, very annoying... I've seen it come up on other sites before but I don't think it usually flashes the numbers like that and well I those other crappy sites to have crappy ads.

So can we flog the person who created this ad with a flaming log? I dun like it :D

I can get rid of this type of stuff that Google will serve. :( I need the URL it resolves to. So click it and give me the URL and I will then filter it.
 
Alright. I will let you know if I see it again or if I can track it down. For now I don't know where it goes. I'll probably see it on another site again sometime. For now I have no idea where it goes.
 
I thought google distrubutes ads to you based on sites you browse? I only get PC ads here nothing else. Have you been browsing car insurace sites?
 
Nope, not at all. But I have seen that ad in lots of places. I THINK the place I see it most is failbook.com. I could be wrong on that though.
 
Google is getting a LOT better with its ad targeting, but towards midnight, I have seen the wheels come off. It is the way the unused inventory gets deeper per hour towards the end of day. And January is traditionally a shitty sales month for us. Christmas, newyears, budgets ending, new budgets being assigned, and then the real killer.....CES prep, the actual show, then the week after everyone still trying to get their shit together....
 
It MIGHT be LowerMyBills.com. They have a really retarded ad on intellicast.com (weather site). I think that is where I have seen ads of this type before.

I still have not seen it here again, so maybe it was a fluke. It just so happened that the one time I saw the ad, it was extremely annoying.

Other site I saw the ad at is here... It only comes up like 10% of the time though:

Start another thread when you know for sure.
