Preserved Topic: ***k the 10x.com! (Page 1 of 1)

The ad is really annoying. I see it at least 10x (like the name) a day and it always comes from nowhere.
Terrible!
Done.
Sorry.

That woman is sitting in a really awkward position.

I hear ya, Sash. What is up with that pop-up? But I must admit that I am curious -- how much are they paying for this annoyance?

I read an article on that recently. I think it was on techtv.com. I guess their profits have soared since they started that campaign. Some fairly high traffic sites are popping that ad.

I'm seeing that shit almost everywhere I go. The fu$^&%^&$ng tiny web cam... grrrrr

it appeared on the game i play, everytime i hit enter to do something, i get another copy of the ad! i am torn.. i want to support the game. but the ads are a royal pain!
anyone know how they work? does the game get paid if the ad pops up or if the user clicks on the ad??

In most cases "adware" applications get money when someone clicks on ad banner. But, eve if you click on it, the same banner will probably appear again...

They have to be forking it over. That ad pops up at msn.com.

as well as on hotmail.

With pop-up adds there is still CPM payment methods, where they pay a certain rate for each 1000 impressions. There is also pay per performance, where you get paid for each sale, or lead.

PPC is out the window, not many programs follow that, so I am guessing that it is a CPM program where they pay upwards of 1.00 CPM, who knows, I don't think such big sites would be jumping on it, were it not a really profitable venture.

She's in a skirt. Go figure.

That ad is a bit of a web phenomenon.

x10.com was the 5th most viewed site on the web last month.

And yes it's annoying as hell since I don't know where it came from. However. (I thought I sent this out last week there is a way to prevent them)

That link is supposed to set a cookie to kill the ads for 30 days

Notice the DAY=30 part? I changed that to 3000 just to see what would happen.

cheers

The 3000 didn't work?

It works for me, the pain in the ass is that the ads still appear and then close


Walking the Earth like Kane

nope, just said for thirty days but that's cuz i hit the link first it planted the cookie then i tried the 3000 thing without clearing my cookies. cleared the cookies tried the 3000 thing, worked fine...cool thanks...ads don't show up on me...well yeah actually the open for a second and then close...
