Since over a few years now, I have been using the internet for most of my news/views needs. Apart from the customised news page of google, Ibnlive.com had become a major website which I would frequent for this purpose. But lately (since over 8-10 months now) I have almost stopped visiting ibnlive.
Not that their content has gone bad, but the extent of IRRITATING, INTRUSIVE & UNWANTED ads on the homepage have bugged the hell out of me.
After a few months, I visited the site again today, and the IQ of the ads seems to be going sky high (IQ = IRRITATION QUOTINET). Theres this banner that they have devised, which appears on top of the page, such that it seems to push the homepage down and peep from behind it.
The most hopeless bit is that the close buttton on this banner appears only after it has fully unviled itself. And while this agonising thing slides its way to heights of irritation, theres a medley of unwanted banners that keep increasing in size, in smooth sliding motions, covering headline after headline and pushing their ugly intents in my face! Even if I close them, they reappear at least 2-3 times.
I have not had ANY WEBSITE, give so many ad related problems.I wrote to ibnlive about this as well, but of course there was no reponse. Apparently they still feel just because someone is opening their homepage to read news, its their birthright to give him everything else except the news.
I would swear NEVER ever to buy that brand which is irritating me, but then I dont even remember its name. Whats the point of such advertising?I think ibnlive is the WORST website when it comes to managing ads. And if one quits the website for this reason, it hardly matters if the content was good!
