Also remember, every time someone clicks one of those ads, it develops revenue for RCU. So, by not clicking on those trashy and useless ads we send a message to RCU that their marketing strategy is not working. With any luck, they just might listen. But it will take a while. The "marketing wizard" at IB that came up with this idea is a moron.
That's not exactly how banner ad revenue works,, yes typically when traffic is directed to a site they get additional money, but the also get money every time the ad is displayed, So every page you load,, makes IB money.
It's fractions of pennies per banner image load, but it adds up,, pardon the pun.
