I agree with the original poster.
To place an advert inside an advert is not done anywhere else.
You place a line or display advert in the paper and nobodies advert appears inside your advert.
I am also annoyed by flashing adverts of any type in listings as I waste my time scrolling past adverts of no interest to me.
For instance when I am revising adverts for my magazines I do not want to be distracted by adverts for the Ghan holidays.
These are only showing up because a guest at Christmas time wanted to see the price of a train holiday to Darwin.
She has booked , travelled and is now soaking up the sun in Darwin and now I am being bombarded with travel offers.
It is enough to put you off buying anything so these adverts annoy me immensely.
And to see a competitor featured in your advert is even more annoying.
I hate pop ups, inserted adverts and featured listings or sponsored adverts as they were supposed to keep costs down but the opposite has happened.
We now have lower conversion rates because people are driven away from our adverts by pop ups etc
Our listings and FVF cost significantly more \
and we suffer more from non payers etc.
no value in it for me.
