Dear readers!
Recently I got some mails from you saying there is an annoying pop up ad on the 43rumors mobile version. I discovered this kind of unauthorized ad is running through google Adsense banner. I contacted google and they asked me to help them to find out who is running that non approved ad on their system. So if you happen to see that ad you would help us to solve the problem by
1) take a screenshot from the popup ad
2) take a screenshot of the page where it redirects you and screenshot of the ads that are available on the 43rumors page after you close this pop-up.
3) send it to me at 43rumors@gmail.com.
I will send the material to Google and they will take down that advertiser.
Thanks!
Note: Google Adsense is usually a highly trustworthy advertising network. But they have to know who are the advertisers who break their rule in order to remove them. I currently don’t see that kind of advertising on my mobile version because the specific annoying ad only shows up in some countries and for certain specific target of people.

Sorry, but I’m glad I haven’t had any annoying ad pop-ups lately. I thought the one I got some time ago was about investing in shares (and of course making huge profits).
My popups lead me the apple app store. Is this what you are referring to?
Yes, while using my iPad and viewing your page on Safari, my iPad kept opening the Apple App Store. When I realized it was your site I was really annoyed and ready to stop frequenting it. On my iPhone I noticed a pop up that asked me to go to some page or something similar. Fortunately there was a “no” option. It seems to have only been an issue through last night. I haven’t had an issue this evening.
I just went to get a screen shot, but the ad seems to be gone now.
I’ve gotten two of them. One automatically takes me to the App Store for some lame game and the one last night wanted me to learn more about soccer or something. Right now I’m not seeing either, but I’ll be glad to send a screenshot when I do.
I’m hearing an add on my desktop computer. I have a pop up blocker so I don’t see anything visual but I hear the add through my speakers. On the tab marker at the top of my browser window I see the m43s name with a speaker icon beside it? I just close the window and the add disappears when the window closes. Haven’t heard it in a few days so maybe its fixed. Just wanted to see if anyone else is getting this on their desktop.
I just heard the add on my desktop speakers again! It’s a Verizon add about their NFL package available on their smartphone. Please make this stop. It plays about 2 minutes after I load this page.
