Have you ever bought anything from a pop-up/ad banner?
 
Be honest, just wondering if people are actually wasting money buying that ad-space.

Popup advertisers are the telemarketers of the internet. Worse than the email spammers. God bless pop-up stopper!

actually started using Eudora back when I was using the ad version of Opera (6.03 I think) and they had a banner ad for it. Used it for long while until I jumped over to pegasus.

i have clicked on ad banners, but have never followed through on a purchase...on that note i have never ever ever intentially followed a pop-up banner. hooray for me.

other than watching tv shows from ads i found out about pop up banners then no. i have never spent anything more than time as a result of them.

You had gator installed on your computer. Maybe from downloading KaZaA or something like that.

You need something like Ad-Aware to remove all traces of it.

never ... on principle, nothing to do with the quality or type of merchandise

Because of Brodie's suggestion Mrs. Polo's breasts are noticeably fuller because of Bloussant . It really is a wonder drug !
Also our cows milk yield has improved dramatically thanks to BLOUSSANT!
I would of never discover this modern miracle without the aid of a Pop Up Ad .

some of the stuff on popup adds arent stupid. I haven't bought stuff from one but i have considered it.

I deliberately avoid buying products or services from companies that use pop-up advertising. I consider it to be an unnecessary, invasive, annoying medium.
