Wake-Up!

Homepage Visitors at the Top Sites

Thanks for the info noirblood,

Using ysearch certainly does de-clutter the searches, but eventually you'll have to sign in to get your email and be bombarded. I chose to use (iGoogle) www.google.com/ig - no ads on the homepage or email page. Loads up way faster and it's completely customizable. Give it a try!

Good luck!

Perhaps clicking those text ads are accidental...

I know I've accidentally clicked on a few of those text ads as I tried desperately to get a bowl of salad fixin's to stop swirling around my Yahoo homepage. Finally, those irritating vegetables spun their way back to their ad box on their own.

I guess it just goes to show you that people are finally fed up with being bombarded by ads and commercials 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year!

I know I'm sick of being forced into watching advertisements/commerc... before I'm connected to what it was I clicked in the first place!

In my experience with Yahoo, I've found that if their ads don't load first - neither will your email or your homepage (AdBlock Plus for Firefox works great to eliminate these bothersome ads).

And yes, I'm one that dropped Yahoo like a hot potato in favor of a quieter, less cluttered home page.
