This CitySearch Ad is Awful!
When I pull up any PersonaPaper page, I get the grayscreen with a box in the center, reading:
“Seach the top 5 businesses in your area ? Options, being “Okay” or “cancel.”
Once, was survivable , twice was doable. But, every page? Every-time? Every comment , link, like? I've already seen it once in the process of submitting this very post. Will I see it again? Will my readers ? I don't like it so much at all.
Wow. No way. This sucks . It's ruining the experience. PersonaPaper first-time visitors will assume (rightfully too) that it's “spammy.” I hope I'm the first to say it out loud .
Please tweak – or remove the CitySearch ad. It's just not working . Have others experienced this, yet? On second thought , let's just remove it altogether, please, Ashley ?
Edited to add: Yes, the CitySearch ad came up again for this submission and for the edit. It's a drag, guys. A drag.
UPDATE : It's been fixed. Thank you.

Don't worry, that will be going away shortly. Its from Chitika... I will be fixing it in the next few minutes.

That's Chitika? I am so so sorry. Well. Can't say you didn't try. :)

I've tried allowing pop ups from this site, but it isn't working. Thank you, ashley for all your hard work! You are doing a fantastic job trying to do what's best for all.

I guess ashley already fixed it because I honestly didn't see it.

momathome I'm still getting it. I got it when I opened this article, when I 'liked it' and now when I'm commenting on this :(

Someone else was complaining about that ad but I haven't seen it yet

I haven't seen it either and have tried allowing pop ups. I wish I wasn't so tech unsavvy.

It may not have been Chitika... I assumed it was because they were in the leaderboard position in the header and that is on every page. But there were two others that I tried to get setup but weren't actually displaying anything (Kontera and ezmob). I removed both of those and it seemed to have fixed it... so it was one of those. Chitika is still on the main page so they may still be OK for now :)

Glad to hear this. Here's to the re-approach *Toasts lemon-water.*

I have a girl in a bikini telling me I can make money in my jammies. So, why is she at the beach?
LoudMan wrote on June 15, 2014, 1:22 PM
Perhaps she's suggesting the easy life?

I just wanted to mention it.

Count yourself lucky. It was annoying.

Glad they fixed it.
