    Dear Mayor Karen, I would rather make a contribution toward keeping Pet Talk up and running instead of having ads by Yahoo on the page. But you're the Mayor, so if the ads are there to stay, then -- okay. (I'm trying to put in my two cents and also keep in mind the bigger picture.)

    Thanks,

    The thing that I don't like about these ads is that I cannot open them in a separate window, so it closes out of what I am doing on PT. I prefer Google's ads, for that reason.

    My only problem with the ads are the non-pet/animal related ones such as "How Romantic Are You?"

    They change all the time. I saw something called PetMed and Ferretstore.com, but right now its for mortgages and realarcade, a game website.
    I just ignore them- as I do on google And if they help finance the site I am fine. We all know that a contribution system wouldn't work probably. Content you have to pay for is a problem- although there are people on this site who would be happy to pay a little.

    I agree with that too! They are very unrelated... haha.

    Well, at least these ads are just a narrow band of copy. The previous three were pet-related, the three now are mortages/credit cards. I think the majority have been pet-related.
    These are not as distracting as color ads. The ones I really hate are the flashing ads on yahoo mail - they give me a headache!
