The Question and Answer Board

[Bird of Prey]

Earlier this week


I saw someone commenting on the number of ads on a particular site. While I was going over some of the sites I usually read, I decided to take a quick review of how many ads were shown.

I limited this to just graphic links (banners, boxes & buttons) though several sites deserve special recognition for gratuitous use of text ads.

My Results:

Yahoo - 3+ and a pop up (ads shown varied but three was most common)
NY Times - 12 and a pop up
USA Today - 4+ and a pop up
Orlando Sentinel - 6
MSN - 2
Sporting News - 3 and an occasional pop up
Free EDGAR - 5+ plus a host of text ads at the bottom
CBOE - 4
Stock Charts - 1 plus a number of text ads

See what happens when I get bored! 8>)
