What do do about the freeper advertisements
Click on them!!

I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but we should all click on them and let the page render (I know, yuk!).

Every time you click it costs them money. Put them out of business! Also, that will be the best way to try and get them off this site. If they are smart they will change the types of sites the ad goes on.

1. Or, contribute to DU and you won't ever see them.
$10 will do it for a year.

2. Exactly!!
I say that all the time. And if you get tired of clicking on these DU banners, I know another site or two where pennies worth of clicks really makes a HUGE difference.

3. They don't bother me because I don't pay any more attention to them than any other ads.
I watch a lot of tv and don't patronize the advertisers and I must admit that I don't feel bad about it at all.

5. Donors don't see those ads.
Donors also get to use the DU search functions (not just google search), post on DU group forums, and keep track of people with a buddy list.
