In an effort to make money online some bloggers are resorting to using popup and peel back advertising. I'm sure you have seen both. A popup ad is one that creates another but smaller browser window to display the ad over the main browser window. A popup ad has to be clicked on to close in order to see the main window. A peel back ad is one where there is an advertisement behind the main browser window that displays if you hover over the turned over corner of the main browser window. I find both types annoying!
I use a popup blocker but still see a bar at the top of the main browser window that says to the effect this site wants to show a popup followed by two choices - allow or never allow. Since either involves some type of action on my part I simply close that site and won't visit it again. These types of ads are against the TOS for some advertising networks like Adgitize, AFTR, and CMFAds. Since I am a member of all three, I do make it a point to report any blog in the system that uses popup and peel back ads. That's how much they irritate me!
