Full page IGN type ads. Do you avoid those websites?
« on: October 18, 2007, 10:56:41 PM »
I dunno it really annoyed me with the full screen ads. Unavoidable unless you pay basically. IGN seems the worst for it. For me, I stick with the less commercialized sites for my gaming news.

I don't like to frequent sites that pop ads up like that, except File Planet, but as a subscriber you can turn them off. The only reason i have a subscription there is to get into some of the betas that are "member exclusive". In general though I will not go to a site that has the huge full paid ads when several other sites report the same news in a much more basic and less intrusive site.

Ok, I'm not the only one. I just find those ads cheesy and annoying. If they want people to stop linking to their pages, then I guess mission accomplished. I wouldn't put any of my visitors through those full page ads for some article. I'll paste it on my site instead...
