Please View My Ad

How many times am I going to respond positively to a request to view an unsolicited ad? Zero.

Pop, Pop, Pop Go Those Web Ads. Pop-up ads may be annoying, but they're not going away. Some sneaky advertisers are even trying to get around ad-blocking software. By Joanna Glasner.

[...] As more Internet users adopt ad-blocking software, advertisers are now looking for ways to get around it, Panicware's Fresenius said.

The makers of one application engineered for this purpose, AntiAdBuster, claim their script will detect if a person is using ad-blocking software. Once it detects the ad- blocking software, it sends a message asking the person to turn it off and check out the ad.

Fresenius said she doubts many Web users find the offer appealing. [ Source:  Wired News]
