LOL! You have not entered the Twilight Zone; it’s your boxes REALLY.

I have been fighting this issue for about 9 years ever since Symantec arrived. Let me try to explain what is happening.

Every computer and browser is now embedded with adware, spyware and popup ad control software, you may catch some of them and delete them sometimes they get past you and you simply miss it. If you do not see an ad for whatever reason, its software by the name of protection some where on your computer. I can go on all day about this topic but will move on to how you can get past it.

The only way to beat it is by changing the name of terms.

• All files with advertising I call them /dad/ or /mom/ using a term that cannot be blocked.
• All programs must "NEVER" contain any word associated with "ad, advertising, banner, etc. Adcycle is loaded with them and most people using any form of "protection" will never see your ads, or they will see your ads but it will not be able to click them.
• All advertising software must re-write all ad type links, converting them to the owners domain, similar to the jump.cgi in LinksSql
• All advertising software must rewrite image links in the same manner as the URL links, or upload the banners yourself.
• All banners must be 1 pixel off, example: 468x60 abnner should be 467 or 469x59 or 61
  

Here is an example of one of my banner links:
--notice the file name where the script is called /dad/
--I then rename the script images.php

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.ssan.com/dad/50_percent_feature/images.php?gid=5&style=non_ssi"></script>

Hope this helps.

Andy,

Its time to rewrite that software and beat the blocking ad software, ad revenue is important to maintaining the cost of running a website.
