I understand your desire to make money on this website, but half the time I can't even get to it because of the cell phone ad. When I do make it there, I have at least 5 pop-up ads. Please charge more for your ads and thus reduce the number of them and do something about the cell-phone ad up-front. I appreciate your consideration.

Oh really? Try it! I dare you.
And yeah, I have to agree. I can deal with the occasional gatekeeper ad, but all the popups? They're not worth the three daily links to articles I usually find on my own anyway.
Congratulations!!! Your 2nd pop-up has the amazing ability to not allow access to your website. I commend your technical advertising folks in your desire to make this a pay site. Keep up the good work.
Be careful! Sigh Snyder sent me an email calling me a loser after I complained about the popups. For real.
He said "try pop-up blocker, loser."
That's pretty funny. People are paying him to make the pop-ups, then he's telling readers to block them. I wonder if the people paying for those ads know he's at the same time telling his readers to block them?
Please let your second pop-up advertiser know how much "bang for the buck" he's getting with his ad. I'm sure he'll really be pleased advertising with you!
