The internal pop-up on some web pages.

No matter what you do to deter certain types of advertising, there will be ways to work around the pop-up blocker on your browser. I've noticed that some sites, especially tech sites seem to be using what I would call internal pop-ups. There is an ad as you open up a page and it grows in size then it goes away after a period of time. So many people think that this kind of blocking is effective, but not always. So what good will it be in the future to even have the toolbar if it can't get rid of the internal pops? These types of ads have been around for some time and there's nothing really new about it, it's just irritating.

When will companies understand that some of this has a backlash factor? I won't use the sites that do this. It's imposing upon that website experience. When ads are strangling a website, it actually will have an effect of people going away. Too much is too much. Be careful on your website about having too many ads, it offends.
