Maxman Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The video player only appears for guests. Make sure you are logging in and you will see less ads. We did extensive testing and we don't see any redirects or sound playing automatically. Fingers crossed but everything looks good now and the speed test we performed seemed fine. We are doing a server upgrade next week that will make the site faster in general (that isn't ad related just a general upgrade). Thanks!

Maxman Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Someone let me know about this over the weekend. I had ad code in place from the old network and I am working to get that removed this week. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, on mobile there's now a permanent ad stuck to bottom of phone browser for NYJ tickets and NFL team rosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks guys I will take a look at get it sorted out today. Very frustrating but we were in this FOX Sports ad network and they just pulled back all 3rd party ads. And word on the street is they might not be paying for June ads. Fun stuff. But I will get these current issues sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 I got rid of the footer ad. That was its own ad network and I think that was the one causing the problem. Please let me know if you see any issues. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pop up was coming from the Sovrn footer ad which I removed. We seem to have some rogue mobile ad code in place that is causing the other issues. I will get it fixed, thanks.

Maxman Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 The one up top is as an ad. I'm going to change the size tomorrow. To try and make it a little smaller. The thing on the bottom I should have removed completely tomorrow. It's a footer and that is bringing in a whopping .03 cpm. Bye bye.

Maxman Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) I found the footer code on mobile. It will be removed soon. Cleaned a few other things up that would make the sure faster as well. The last issue will be fixed in the am. I have new code for the ad up top I will put in a more mobile friendly option. Thanks everyone.

Maxman Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 This should definitely be fixed now, please let me know if there are any issues. 1. That footer code was hardcoded into the template and has been removed. 2. The ad that had the links on mobile is gone completely. I have to put another ad up there, but I am looking for a smaller \ mobile friendly option. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 So here is what I did: Removed all mobile ads. The site makes less money that way but there have been too many problems with them. So until I find a better solution I will leave all mobile ads off. When we find a mobile ad solution that is safer, we will put it on for guest only. Membership is free and has its privileges. To balance things out a bit, I put in an extra ad on each page that only guest see. The top ad is also smaller for members as opposed to guests. Seriously if you are reading this as a guest, sign up. The only ad code we have in place is for desktops. There is no ad code for tablets or mobile phones. If you are on a mobile device and you see an ad please screen print it for me and post it in this forum. I hope this takes care of the problem. Thanks everyone for your patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom. It is very strange, we don't have a single ad running on a tablet device or a phone. Do you see any ads when you scroll through the site? Maybe a desktop ad is leaking through. Anyone else having a problem? I have been on my phone all morning and it has been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did the new updates (literally just now) on both iPhone and iPad so maybe that'll fix it. Interesting is that I downloaded an ad blocker onto the iPad just prior to that, opened JN, then instantly got redirected to that same site. I checked on the Apple Service boards and all they say is to clear the history. Only happening on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 @Maxman fwiw, did a Google search and this promotefine thing seems to be happening on a bunch of different sites lately, all starting in July 2017. http://www.mylawnmowerforum.com/forum/2-site-news-feedback/60889-getting-redirected-forum.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 I added some mobile ads in, here is why... I think maybe you are seeing an ad that you aren't supposed to and that's what is causing the problem. There are now two small mobile ads. Not sure if this will work but please keep me posted.
