| 808799 | 2009-09-11 07:08:00 | Sheeeesh! I go away for a few hours and this happens . I thought I had caught the H1N1 in the puter, but I fired up three units and they all did the same thing . I live so far away from the advertisers that I cannot possibly trade with or even consider accepting discounts for anything in Upsidedown Land . At least try to keep the ads local to youse guys and leave us Rightside Uppers alone! Where is this "width" setting in ABP? I know the problem's in here, but how do I block it? <!--Subscribe box--> <div class="newsletter_div"> <p class="newsletter_title">Subscribe Online</p> <p class="newsletter_img"><a href=" . co . nz/pcw/subscribe"" target="_blank">pcworld . co . nz title="Sign up now" target="_blank"><img title="Click on picture to enlarge!" src=" . co . nz/idgnet/covers/pcworld_50 . jpg"" target="_blank">idg . co . nz alt="Sign up now" class="cover" border="0"></a>Trusted editorial content relevant to the NZ market & convenience of free NZ delivery </p> <p class="newsletter_link"><a href=" . co . nz/pcw/subscribe"" target="_blank">pcworld . co . nz title="Sign up now" target="_blank">» Subscribe now</a></p> </div> |

| 808801 | 2009-09-11 07:24:00 | I suspect that most of the "Guests" will be bots anyway. Of the current "guests", 60 are bots and 172 are proper Guests, so about 65% are proper people which'll shift depending on time of day, search engine spidering schedule, etc. PressF1 generally ranks well in the search engines so a LOT of surfers will be coming and going. |
