Pop up ads are back. Or is it just an urban legend?

Written by Chris on April 11th 2009

If there’s one thing I loathe on a website, it’s pop up ads. Here’s one I encountered this week on www.snopes.com. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a completely pointless and irritating ad — if you can call a blank white square an ad. I’m annoyed, which is why I decided not to provide a live clickable link to snopes in this post. And from now on I shall go elsewhere for my urban legend and rumour information.
