Here is my MO dealing with ads on web sites
a) If it's an ad for a *local* business (say on the local BBS) I click on it, reguardless. Why? Cause the money is going into the local economy, where it's needed.
b) If it is local, it's whitelisted.
c) If it's a pop-up, or under, unless it an a) it's turned off IF it gets though my pop-x blocker. If no blocker exists yet. It's ignored and turned off until a block stops it.
d) If it's an animated GIF, Java, or shockwave (IE: if it moves) it's turned off using the blockers I have installed on Firefox. A) is the only exception to the rule of: IF IT MOVES, IT'S IGNORED, AND NOT CLICKED. Basically your annoying me, so by annoying me, I won't support you.
e) If it's a text, or static image ad, it'll stay on the screen, I won't block it, and it's not blacklisted. If I wish to look at it, I will. If I want the product, I'll click it. Unless it's a C).
No circumstances, do I support annoying ads. So want my business? Advertise with local businesses, and/or have e) style ads, and we'll click.
