YoKenny Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 False and Deceptive Display Ads at Yahoo's Right MediaBenjamin Edelman Yahoo's Right Media ad marketplace features widespread ads exactly designed to deceive. I present ten examples of these deceptive ads, and I critique their unwelcome characteristics. To estimate the prevalence of deceptive tactics, I examine Right Media's own analysis ad characteristics -- finding that by Right Media's own admission, deceptive ads total 35% or more of Right Media's advertising inventory. http://www.benedelman.org/rightmedia-deception Also interesting: False and Deceptive Pay-Per-Click Ads http://www.benedelman.org/ppc-scams Who is Benjamin Edelman? http://www.benedelman.org/bio "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I just got hit It is a Flash ad at the bottom of the home page of Nirsoft that is causing me grief. There are so many neat utilities on that site and I never had a problem before but it seems that the latest Flash update permits these popups so I have installed TurnFlash to disable Flash quickly: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/tflash2.html "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
