I agree. It's never been a problem of aesthetics to me; it ruins the relevance of inline links. If the link said something like "Buffalo Bills ticket trends" then linking to somewhere like SeatGeek would make a lot of sense. That's not what's happening here. Honestly, I hope this sort of subversive advertising never takes hold. If it does, Web users will lose faith in the relevance of inline links and will stop using them. And right now that's pretty much the only place you can find outbound links that aren't ads! |

No need to be worried, adblock seems to catch those just fine. I certainly have never seen one of those. In fact, I can't quite remember when I have last seen any kind of ad.
The only ad-related memory I have would be that I (very rarely) run into a scammy site that tries to launch some sort of pop-over <div>. Adblock doesn't seem to block that javascript but it blocks the content. The result is usually a blank overlay; a very nice (and often red!) indicator that the content wasn't worth my time anyways - that's what I call good customer service.
Adblock - highly recommended.
