Oh… Hmm… I didn’t think about linking it here. I try not to mess with the adds because Google has all these rules and terms of service that I never read. lol

Now I really want to know what that “don’t click unless you’re 18” one led to…

Why no link! :shock:

(those are my wide “questioning” eyes, not my wide “shocked” eyes btw)

Probably a good thing you didn’t click on it, since you’re over 18. It says not to click on it unless you are 18, not over or under :)

Anyway, I have a mental filter to filter out banner ads, honed over the years. Moving images in flash are blocked through flashblock, and I don’t tend to frequent sites that have those annoying animated .gifs. I don’t have a problem with banner ads I don’t ‘see’, and leaving them on allows the maintainers to get some nominal revenue for my page load.

Hell, once on thedailywtf.com there was a wtf that was a funny in a banner ad. I couldn’t find the point of the article – I was mentally blanking the banner and unable to ‘see’ the image they referred to.

Thanks ;)

Well that’s usually enough to make sure it isn’t a link to some NSFW content/”shock” site etc.

Fixd!

Btw, having a preview won’t help in this case. You will know that it is a link to a popular service out there, but it won’t tell you anything about the content. :)

Oops, something really went wrong with the link in that last comment, perhaps you could fix it for me :P

I tend to Adblock adverts on almost all websites, with only a few exceptions, such as my own websites, friends’ blogs, etc. I’ll look out for the “Do not click unless you’re 18” one though ;)

Have you never seen tinyurl preview? :mrgreen:
