Is this really the sort of advertising that you want?

I've screen captured a strap advert that keeps following me around the site..
It's at the top of my profile.

Is this really the sort of thing you want on your site?

It's also popped up as a square ad on the right of the screen . Persistant little bugger.

Thanks. We're doing our best to isolate and nix it.

Thanks. Have just spotted it. We're on the case.

Just wanted to say that I just saw the 'Spied' ad.
I took a screen shot fwiw

TippiShagpile · 21/05/2013 08:54

I had the spied advert this morning too.

Bloody annoying and it has the look of a virus type thing about it.

BigStickBIWI · 21/05/2013 08:57

It's Ad Choices, isn't it? I hate the bloody things and I really wish Mumsnet weren't allowing them. I think it cheapens the site, as well as some of them looking really dodgy.

I have had that one on the top of my page several times today/yesterday as well, by the way.

WorraLiberty · 22/05/2013 08:45

I had the '2 friends spied on you' ad again this morning at the top of the page.

Interestingly, it disappeared as soon as I logged in?

WorraLiberty · 22/05/2013 08:45

Oh, it's on the right hand side of the page now.

BigStickBIWI · 22/05/2013 08:47

Well I'm logged in, and it's at the top of my screen now, ironically at the top of this thread!

Pascha · 22/05/2013 08:49

It was there for me a minute ago too, at the top of active convos.

derektheladyhamster · 22/05/2013 08:50

It's there for me too now.

CherylTrole · 22/05/2013 09:00

And me.

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 22/05/2013 09:06

Me too.

coppertop · 22/05/2013 09:29

It's on the right side of the page for me too now.

HelenMumsnet · 22/05/2013 09:29

Oh no! Not sure how that's happened as we definitely blocked it last week.

We'll investigate.

RubyGates · 22/05/2013 09:33

it's back, but i was able to block it

HelenMumsnet · 22/05/2013 17:20

Where?

UnChartered · 22/05/2013 17:53

it was on the top ad bar

HelenMumsnet · 22/05/2013 17:54

OK, just so you know what's happening and don't think we're a lot of incompetent losers, it appears that, as fast as we block this ad, it appears again with a different "booking" name - until we block that one.

We are on the case, though. Honest.

UnChartered · 22/05/2013 18:04

the google ads are there as well, but they are real ads iygwim - the 'remove malware' ad is loud and proud again

Thank you cumfy....Smile
I took Nicholas' advice and I haven't seen it since Grin
Although I feel that's cheating a bit.
