Yeah

... for some. Adblock Plus works, too. For me. Nice and clean pages.

Read the article again.

It says that sales increased by 9%. That doesn't mean that the ads are working on everybody, or even most people. It just means that they are having a statistically noticeable effect on sales and business.

So, you can still be in the majority of people that the ads don't work on without the study being incorrect.

Yay! Everybody wins! Wait, that's not allowed on this site, is it?

Internet Ads Work, yet ?Product

Digital ads are illegal, buying over internet is illegal & selling digital service is illegal, buying digital Hardware is illegal,ALL Felonies, since early 1930s' Copyright IS VOID if Digitally Transfered.

Next: Double-Click, If you want to advertise, double click blasts line like noone can, However, doubleclick in peroria isn't doubleclick in Minster. theINQ is Doubleclicked. Those Helloooo are product of Marilynn Philips from Mellon Bank, searching homeless shelters & poor apt complexes for victims' is Marilynn Phillips & ,if you notice that china & france have less language pack acceptance, marilynn Phipps is Smiley from North Korea, So Is LIVE. SNOOPS Abound, ALL with MALINTENT Galore. Would You Open Your Door for "Hellloooo"?

Yet, Internet ads do SELL, Much more than Tv Infomercials that religionist put out. On Internet dealing directly with Manufacturer makes good product available, No Other Source is even close to reliable.

Marihuana Is Scoff compared to intenet RISK. Marihuana can kill You with ancient anotated Law. So one by one or City by city, Ray Goes Out with GUN to Usees' address & they never come back. Quick, Precise & wrong. Whom Would of Even Suspected?

INQs Fscking Irritating Ads

If you don't get rid of that fucking 3D smiley banner ad with the "HELLLOOOO!" sound, I will stop coming to this site completely.

Yeah, that ad is working real freaking well for you isn't it?

completely wrong !!

how annoying is it when you go to a page and just as your about to start reading/watching/playing an add pops up - infuriating huh, and if it happens often enough you make a mental note never to buy that brand (whatever it's selling).

Like manymany people, adverts are more likely to put me off a product than make me want to buy it. Sometime the add is clearly aimed at stupid people, I'm not stupid, so the product is obviously not suitable to someone like me.

As for these surveys, people who don't like pointless distractions like adverts are not likely to take them, therefore the results from such surveys are completely unreliable.

Have any of you ever clicked on the ad at the bottom of MSN messngers main wiindow ? No, and do you know anyone who has ?

The thing is, most adverts are stupid, so ignored by anyone with a brain - anyone intelligent wanting to buy an item will go and find it, research it, and then shop around for the best deal. God bless the interweb it's great (except for those stupid f**king adverts !

Only if you see them

Adverts only work if you see them, I dont. The internet (just like TV) is much nicer without adverts, Firefox + Adblock Plus is a great combination.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
