Co2 advert
Guys is there anyway I can turn this ad off?
It really slows up my machine and is actually detracting from my site usage as a result! I will never click on ot anyway!! |

I assume if you do click on it it costs them money and helps to fund TTths.
If so I can't think of a better way to reclaim some of the CO2 subsidy cash. However it is unreasonable of anyone to create a totally intrusive online advert, though that seems, to me, to be the intent of certain types of advert creators and their clients. Maybe we could have a guide thread for the best way to help fund ttths through on site advertising - who pays most and can best afford to cough up - stuff like that. How many clicks to make the payment active? |

There is always the option to subscribe at £10 a year which then allows you to turn off all the adverts

What is the actual advert for? I need something a little more than "Co2 advert" to try and track down a particular advert from our many advert sources

MAGNETON - excellent information, thanks. I was not aware of the penalties scenario. Do you get a choice about which ads to accept? Is there something attractive about the payments for the ones based on 'normal' user behaviour? (Can motor sport people be fiscally productive in that sort of categorisation? :-)) ) Can you appeal against an advertiser that puts out a really annoying ad but makes it difficult to know who they are or what they are really about - like the FIAT ad - unless you watch for ages or click on the thing, but may then refuse to cough up id they can suggest that too many people have clicked? Just a thought. |

We can set categories of advert to refuse. We currently refuse:

I'll have a look at it and see if there's anything that can be done, however, if it's a high paying advert then obviously I have difficult decision to make. I have to admit that 90% of the time I turn adverts off. |

I suppose I should have turned the political ones on for the duration of the UK elections though. |

After reading this i've realised, it really slows my browser down. I always thought it was another site i'd been on at the time but it is actually just this co2 advert

Is tobacco advertising on websites actually legal within EU members?

I'm having problems with this C02 advert as well, everytime i type, it stops typing because the ad is taking up all my bandwidth, so it takes sodding ages to type a response to anything on ten tenths at the moment.

You have a contract with Google? Jeeze, this site seems to get bigger and more prestigious the more I find out about it! |

Any website that uses Google Adsense adverts has a contract with Google and restrictions over the kind of material they can display/promote, restrictions on the maximum number of advert blocks per page, and a few other things. |
