Can't Reproduce Getting audio ads -_-

jamesaa · Nov 30, 2012

So ya, as per title i'm getting audio ads (for Lemsip and other medicine like stuff for some bizarre reason

) while browsing GBAtemp, think they're coming from something that links to "www.mojo24.com" (might not be though, was only obvious ad on page at the time)

So more of an fyi than anything as adblock is being turned back on for now :-(

I thought the only ads GBAtemp even had are the nds-card sponsor ads?

According to the ad above this reply box, I ought to go meet some Chinese women.

Nope.

MADKATZ99 · Nov 30, 2012

Haha, I get heaps of those. Took me ages to figure out they were coming from GBAtemp.

I have reported the problem repeatedly but the ad network only replied this:

Dear Costello,

We have been investigationg your complaint and trying to figure out it's source.

We are attaching a guide on how to decode ads, This is the only way for us to be sure that this is our ad. the information you will send us will be really helpful.

A bit on how our system works:
Right media system has workers that review each ad (in a time frame of 48 hours once it's uploaded). As porn is not permitted on right media, It is strange that this ad will linger more then 48 hours.

In any case - we have closed off your mobile traffic to all advertisers that are not managed directly by Matomy. This will make sure that there are no porn campaigns.

We also ask you to check whether it is another ad network you are working with that might be the cause of these ads. If it is another network please let us know so we can remove the restrictions from your site.

Thank you for letting us know of the problem, We really wish to find the solution for this

In short, the only way is to follow this guide: http://filetrip.net/view?iIDBID2cPS
figure out the full advert URL as shown in the above guide; then e-mail or PM it to me, and I can forward it to our ad network so that they filter it out.

Tried following the guide, it kinda pointed me to this mess of code:

Again, cannot be sure it was definitely coming from this ad, but was certainly coming from GBAtemp.

Also, yay for the code refusing to indent in the nice way firebug had it laid out >.<

Jamstruth · Nov 30, 2012

Thank god. I thought I was going insane. I was sitting in Uni listening to music and browsing the Temp and hearing ads. I was severely weirded out since I couldn't see anything that would be making the sounds. It was just audio. Weird for an ad campaign.
Unfortunately I can't help since all I did to fix it was install Adblock.

EyeZ · Nov 30, 2012

Yeah the first time i heard it, i was like wtf?

Does that guide also work when the URLs are protected by heavily obfuscated and encrypted javascript, along with anti-firebug code?

Engert · Nov 30, 2012

You know i was looking for a Swifter duster so the commercial on this page reminded me to do so.

techboy · Dec 1, 2012

I heard one of these when I was browsing on a PC at university. Ugh, especially in a quiet lab.

Did the same.

JamesTheAwesomeDude · Dec 5, 2012

Wow, I was just getting ready to add *.gbatemp.net to my ad blocker whitelist when I saw this thread. Please LMK when this issue is fixed; I really want to support GBA Temp!

Just neuter flash with something like Flashblock. That will also help with all the flash exploits going around.

pwsincd · Dec 5, 2012

Yeah i had noticed this also i get occasionally linked random words in threads that when moused over pop out an add .

That's not from the 'Temp, that's from a piece of software you installed where you probably just spammed the 'next' button and it installed some shitty adware.

Issac · Dec 7, 2012

Right now I get ads from a couple of swedish online bookstores, after browsing said stores, so that's all well and good for me

However, before I got those annoying "meed local russian maids and fuck them tonight!!"-ads with semi-nude girls..
Oh well, I'll be sure to follow that guide if I'd need it some day

Sicklyboy · Dec 7, 2012

All I'm getting now are gaming/electronics related text ads from Google. I am completely okay with those.
