How do you get around Norton

[Anthony Brown]

I have a client site that has banner ads on it (not popups), and they are
getting complaints that the ads are not showing on some pc's. Of course,
these pc's all have norton installed.

Hoe do I get around this? do I need to change my code, and rename anything
that says banner, and ads? The size? What does norton and all blockers loof
for when determining that content is an ad?

Thanks,
Anthony

[Nancy Gill]

change the size of your banner ad by just a few pixels. Standard size
banner ads are not going to show in Norton.

Thanks Nancy.
I made them 273 x 83 originally, and thought that was a non standard size.
Now, they are 275 x 85. Should I go down in size?

Fortunatly, I don't have Norton so I can see the banner ads no matter what
size they are.

I see the words Sponsored By: in the white space at the top right .. that's
it. There should be a banner in there? There isn't.

However .. if I disable Norton, then I see the same thing. I see some small
banners on the left under the words Large Business and Small Business.

Both areas are the same whether I have Norton running or disabled.

rut roh!
Yes, there is supposed to be banners under "Sponsored by"

Looks like I have a bigger problem than I thought.

The ads use an include file. Maybe if I put that code directly on the page
that will help?

Give me about 10 mins. and check again please Nancy.

I appreciate the feedback.

I rewrote the entire code, and got rid of everything that said "ads". I
also put the code directly in the page.

Tell the client that that is now the internet works. You can't really
control how/what 3rd party software does on individual machines.

Obviously, these folks don't want to look at ads. I can't imagine forcing
these ads on these people is going to make them any more likely to want to
visit your site.

The best would be to remove that useless Norton crap, but I don't think
that's an option in your case ...

Image size and filename.

Without Javascript I see no ad. With JS enabled it gets quite annoying,
because every few seconds the script requests another image from the
server. Some of them are rather big in filesize and the download takes
some time, so as soon as the download is completed and the image visible
the script requests a new one. Not really useful I think ...

I still see just "sponsored by" and nothing else. Even once I've disabled
Norton. I don't think Norton is your problem.

Thanks for the input. With the problems that I am having with the script,
and apparently different people seeing different things.
What is a better way to do this? Flash? I need some advice on this because
this is a very big deal to my client that these show.

Examples and other input welcome.
Thanks

Agreed! I don't like them myself all that much. But, this is what my
client wants, and this is income to them. The service has been bought and
paid for by there clients. Now, I HAVE to get it to work somehow.

I am getting heat from the directors to get this to work.

Don't let them walk all over you. Push back. Explain that what they are
trying to do is just a waste of money. There are always going to be ad
blockers and fighting them is just going to be an excercise in futility.

Again, if people don't like ads to the extent that they use an ad blocker,
forcing the ads isn't going to change anything. They're just not going to
visit your site. Either way, the client isn't getting an ad view for that
person. Would they rather not get an ad view and pay nothing. Or would they
rather not get an ad view, but pay you to do pointless busy work?

In otherwords, tell them that they are wasting their money paying you to do
this. (But if you want the money, then hey... ;o)

All right,
Everything has been converted to flash.

Please take a look and let me know what happens.
