Okay I have dealt with those annoying WII ads that say I won a free one. But now I am getting it on my main page as well? Are you also getting theses talking ads on your main page when you sing in to myLot? I tab when I work on myLot but now this is annoying. Now there's one that sates I won a WalMart gift card as well. Do you just listen to these annoying ads or mute the sound? Does this type of advertising infuriate you at all? I am planning on writing myLot to complain,whine,whatever you wish to call it. If a lot of members do that maybe they'll listen to us members. Will you join me in my complaints to myLot admin about the annoying talking ads?

I haven't had any of these but this is the second discussion of yours I've seen on the topic - I wonder why it's not happening to me? glare

I mean, not that I'm complaining or anything lol I just don't know why it's happening so much to some people blink

I don't recall doping more than one along these lines.
But it is very irritating to say the least.

I don't get the voice ads, perhaps it is only in the US? A while back I did get involved in something called Pay Per Play and it was a noew form of advertising where you added a bit of code to your website and everytime someone opened your page they woudl get a 5 second sound byte advertising something. As far as I know they are still working on the system since I haven't heard anything more from them on what is happening.

As far as I know, they recruited a load of people to put the code onto their sites - too many for the amoun tof ads they had to run. The last I heard they had changed their focus and were trawling for more adverts. A big business this one and advertised as the next step in advertising.

If this is what mylot have on their site, they won't be taking it off anytime soon, it will be making them too much cash!

Oh well ... just mute the sound I guess.

Maybe it is just the States that hear these ads.
I listen to music when online at times and it bugs me hearing these ads over my music. I doubt they'd remove them but I had to let them know my feelings etc.

That would annoy me big time. I keep signed in to mylot at all times. When I had to restore my computer the other day and had to sign back in to mylot I didn't hear any ads. I don't like those talking ads on any site, sometimes they come on all of a sudden and scare me.w00tangry


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 475 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Yeah me too.
I listen to music loudly ever so often online.
Then these ads come up and the sound goes over my music.
So if I mute it I can't listen to music.
Grrrr!

I like my music loud a lot too and when others are home I will put the headset on and OUCH, so I try to stay off of those ad sites like that. I have music on my playlist so I can just bring that up and listen to what I want without ads.

I never get this ads when I sign in on mylot. I am glad I don't because I open this at work and I don't want my boss to be hearing such noise and I wouldn't like it either. I am just hiding from opening this here at work so I need to be quiet as possible. whistle


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 475 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Being at work I would just mute the computer then.

I haven't really noticed the ads. I have not been to Mylot much today though. I always keep my sound muted because that would drive me nuts. I hope Mylot gets rid of them too.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 475 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I listewn to music online and I also like to hear my email notification,

rasp ah ha, I finally got a benefit to having no sound on this computer...Though when I get my other one back, I will definitely have to remember to mute it, because that is what I would do if I did hear something when I sign in..


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 475 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

See, I like to listen to music etc while myLotting.
So muting it is a moot point.

Oh I hear you, I love to listen to music too and would do that either from myspace or iTunes, but when I clicked on certain ads on clixsense, some of the ads would have talking and mess me up..So I only lilstened when I wasn't clicking on ads..Now, since I have no sound, I use my MP3..;)

I hate those things. I only get on the internet at my parent's house now, so the only people those ads annoy are me, and my parents if they can hear them. If I'm over at night or early in the morning I scramble to turn the blasted sound down! I hate those suckers. I thought they were gone, but nope, not so lucky. (the ads, not my parents)


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 475 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Well seems they are still around.
Not as often as they were a few weeks ago though thankfully.

I don't listen to ads, I just ignore them and work on the computer until the person comes on.

Yesterday the phone rang I answered it and it was a machine saying congratulations you won a Caribbean cruise. I hung up.
