Flashing Website Ads

A more recent trend in trying to get web surfers to check out their ad is to blink the ad every second or so to attract your eye. Nothing can be more irritating than being distracted by a constantly blinking ad just on your peripheral vision. Makes me just want to scream.

I'd name example of the ads that blink and annoy me, but since I usually hit the back button and move on to something else, I never stay long enough to read what it is they are trying to sell me.

I know I can avoid the ads by going to another site, but it still doesn't get past the fact that I went to that page to read something I thought I'd be interested in, but left before I could finish the article and before the blinking ad drove me off the wall. How long will it take for the advertisers to realize that at best they're getting no bang for their buck and at worst, they driving away potential customers. Let's hope it's soon!
