Lemme tell ya, I totally understand the sites excitement to get a new paid advertiser.
I just won't be one who actually SEES any of the banners/badges/ etc.
I installed ADBlock for my browser. With a couple clicks, all the banners are gone, and all I actually see are the grey box backgrounds.
This has made it WAY less of an eye pain to see all the animations at different times and bright colors and no consistent color scheme. (edit)Not to mention that if a random passer by had glanced at my screen, they wouldn't see all the porn type images.
The other day I opened an link in another browser and OUCH....
Without ADBlock-
