Websites with excessive, poorly placed ads...
So, anyone experience one of these lately?

Flyertalk. A vertical banner ad often blocks much of the first few posts on my iPad. Maybe the numerous changes I have noticed on FT in the past few days will address that.

Not really, although I have noticed one website that is using a square ad where a rectangular one would make much more sense (and get more clicks).

I will agree that the only web site that has given me real problems with ad placement is FT. Chronic!

I hope I am not the only one who keeps getting those obnoxious ads for Muslim and Russian dating services, complete with provocative pics.

That would be a very logical assumption but I certainly haven't been doing anything like that, not even remotely related. Pretty sure my wife would be none too thrilled if I was checking out Russian matchmaking sites!
I do read the DailyMail on occasion, so maybe the algorithm has pegged me as a desperate loser
