...on the new ads.

I know no one likes ads (including me), but we need ads to keep the site alive. I'm looking to see which ads actually distract you and make you not want to use the site. Please be specific (what type of ad and where is is located). And please don't say things like "I don't like ads, take them off" or "they're all bad", because that's not what I'm asking. I'm looking to find the ideal location to place ads that will generate enough revenue to keep PTF alive but at the same time not distract the user or force them to view it or make them frustrated with the site.

Thank you for your feedback.

AJ

the ones that talk at you. those piss me off to no end. Nothing worse than browsing the internet at 1 in the morning and then hearing "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO RECEIVE 2 FREE IPOD NANOS." when you forgot your speakers were still on

Actually, I thought I got rid of those but I guess not. I'm going to work on that right now because I hate them just as much as you do.

Other feedback is appreciated.

I think I got all of them, but it's really tricky. Please let me know if you see anymore (I don't think you will). Also, I decided to remove that one that was next to the PTF logo for part of today.

I'm going to be tweaking ads this week to best serve the members and minimize distraction to members. If there is anymore feedback, please still feel free to post it (again, please be specific or it is unlikely that I'll be able to do anything).

Thank you. It's appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback. Well, you're in luck then because I believe I got rid of the stupid talking ones, we don't have popups, and the ads only add a few lines of scrolling I think. And besides the peel away ad in the top right corner of the page, they are all towards the bottom.

I'm still going to be working on bettering the layout throughout the week. Thanks to all who left feedback.

I also think the one next to the logo was a bit too much.

And just recently I remembered to click a few ads every now and then.
