"Vote for a chance at a free $50!" Oh yeah, I'm gonna click a link that puts a big flashing ad banner in my face! Now THAT will boost revenues!

Get rid of those *beeping* ads!!

As a webmaster I can say that these ads get some of the highest CTRs of any CPM banners...often in excess of 2%. Just going to prove that internet users are idiots.
