I guess they really got their money’s worth! No one will ever visit their site, EVER! Glad you brought it up – I was wondering if it was just me. Talk about over-exposure!
If you use Firefox get the Adblock addon and never worry about clicking on awful (and I mean sucks to the pits of hell) ads like this one – and no doubt there will be many more to come if Graham Langdon has his wicked way with the world…
The bloggers aren’t to blame…. even the bloggers who have ugly teeth.
I discovered that unapproved and rejected ads were running on my own blogs on the first day, and that the only way to stop it was to find an “opt out unless approved” check box buried somewhere on the EntreCard dashboard. I had not approved the ads, in fact I had specifically rejected several of them, including Raging Reverend or something, hated them when I saw them on everyone else’s blogs that day, and didn’t realize until I refreshed my sites that they were running (rejected) every other visit! Now they are gone and will not be back.
It really isn’t the fault of the person running the ad (accept for his taste in his own ad widget) I think what is happening is that there isn’t enough people buying paid ads. Therefore, when a person buys a paid ad it is the only one running on all blogs that accept paid ads 50% of the time, that is a lot of ads.
It was on a continual stream of about 90 blogs I dropped on the other day.. It even appeared on my widget, when I’d not even approved the ad :? It was still on my dashboard awaiting approval
Too funny! I shot this ad down several times this week because I too am totally sick of looking at it. Why, really, do we need to be bombarded with pictures of yellow teeth?

I’ve been seeing it a lot. Not that big of a difference, either.
28. April 2009 at 10:24 pm
AMEN!!!!
28. April 2009 at 10:56 pm
This is so true! I just saw one of those not 5 minutes ago and I’m sure I’ll be seeing it a hundred more times before the night is through.

This one appeared on my blog today, without my approval… it’s seems it’s happening to a lot of the blogs.

I do not like those teeths, either!

OMG! I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one! It’s disgusting! and, it was EVERYWHERE!

I couldn’t agree more! I lost cout of how many times I’ve seen that blasted ad when I did my drops last night.

This is a paid ad I believe so surely it is only on sites that accept paid ads!

Me too!
but you can reject the ads you don’t like or that you think don’t go well on your blog! I rejected this one…after seeing it on almost 300 blogs
30. April 2009 at 8:01 am
I began hating that ad after seeing it only once much less all the times that I had to on my dropping rounds lol

I´m guilty !

Good Labor´s day holiday xx

Which may explain why I, for one, am among the growing(?) legion of EntreCarders as have refused paid advertising out of principle.

Firefox with the AdBlock add-on is a wonderful thing!!
1. May 2009 at 9:00 am
It seems a lot of us are the majority here… and this ad is on about 1/4 to 1/3 of blogs, no?
1. May 2009 at 10:37 am
lol, AMEN!

I’m with Roxy and the ads are gone from my blog as well.
Here’s my post why I’m using alternative traffic sites:
