: : : : : : on the IMDB and a Ladykillers ad starts playing automatically. I know that many of you hate the IMDB but lots of people go there for information. This Ladykillers ad is a big distraction and may cause people to click on it and leave the JG page. Also bad because both movies open the same day.
: : : : : Gotta pay for it somehow. Although I agree it's annoying.
: : : : of money for that as placement. It's a shame that a JG ad doesn't come up on the Ladykillers page.
: : : And I didn't get the pop-up ad. Are you sure it's specifically on the Jersey Girl page, and not something that comes up randomly? And that would suck if they're trying to so place ads in such a mercenary way.
: : I was on the JG page reading messages. Every time I went back to the main JG page, the ad came on (the right side of the screen). It's not a normal pop-up because I have a pop-up blocker. It's a script that's executed when the page loads.
: And I've tried two different browsers. I am filled with sadness that I can see less advertising... woe is me.
I just went back and it's not there so I'm thinking the scipt is in rotation. However, I have encountered it many times in the past 3 days on the IMDB as well as on hollywood.com.
