So basically it sounds like these advertisers PAY YOU to deal with THEIR garbage? And If you are good enough to do all that work, that THEY should be doing to keep the garbage out, THEY will eventually take the garbage out of your web site?

Well the advertisers purchase the inventory from the networks, who purchase inventory from us. The networks should keep the garbage out, but if us publishers don't tell them about the ads it's likely that they'd never know (since they're basically middle men). The real test is what they do once a bad ad or advertiser has been reported, and some networks are much better than others. Unfortunately we're stuck with networks toward the bottom as most of the big networks have policies against firearm content.

It's definitely an imperfect system.

Good to hear. I'm waiting to hear back from the network disabling the (other) network which I believe is serving the ad. Once it's disabled I'll remove the bandaid and we'll see if it returns.

Nothing today Joe! So nice to browse unfettered again.

Popped in a few times today on the iPhone, so far, all clear. Fingers crossed.

 

[Joe Link]

I'm almost positive the issue isn't fixed, but it's good to hear things are working so far

 

[FA9]

So far so good.

A few yesterday before I cleared Safari and then shut down and rebooted the iPad. Nothing since!

Clear sailing so far today, Joe.

 

[Joe Link]

Alright guys, I'm about to remove the temporary fix. Please keep me updated

 

[My 3 sons]

It appears to be holding. 10 minutes of browsing and no Amazon pop up.

 

[Joe Link]

Good to hear! Fingers crossed, it stays that way. Unfortunately these changes can take hours to take affect.

 

[My 3 sons]

Still doing good

 

[Joe Link]

Anyone see it yet?

 

[My 3 sons]

Seems ok still

 

[etrain16]

Seems to be okay this afternoon. Haven't had one of those pop ups today.

 

[Howard1955]

Working fine on the iPad, Joe.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Still good, Joe!

 

[Camelfilter]

Nothing on here, still happening at the other sight we visit.

Thanks Joe!
