NYT ignores us again. Stuart Elliot writes about an ad, which we have posted here, mentioning three US based sites that don't have the ad and leaving our link out (despite being told that we do have it.) Dammit! I just wanted to gripe. The ad is a follow-up of last years bouncers ad for U.C.C. and not that fab. He also left out the actual seeding site. Go figure.
Don't mind me, I just want to have a link from the NYT one of these days. Does one have to be US-based to get that? ;)

They don't trust us Europeans!

Seriously though, do you think it might an ad blocking problem that made the guy miss it?

hehe.... Why is it called the grey lady by the way?

Oh and Dodgy, I really hope not. All I know is that the release stated "it's at x and possibly will be at y, z, and a". Of all the "possibly's" we are the only ones to have it.

God I hate Norton if that a-blocker blocked the damn thing. I bought SSL certs for a buncha years and don't want to have to do that expense again on my adrag.com domain (sand the "-", which works in norton internet snakeoil). It's not like I have hundreds of dollars just lying around. :(

i'd prefer it was one of these or a ghosty bit (lots of grey ladies) but it's because of few pics and mostly text, i think.

Well a lot of stuff on your site gets blocked by Filterset-G too.

Maybe you should get another domain name just for linking the content - something that doesn't get the filters twitching. Maybe even a subdomain might work (eg. images.ad-rag.com, media.ad-rag.com).

Us?

Hugh - yeah uhm, that's not a royal we - I just say "us" since adland is a community and that makes sense. Not "us" as in bunnychatters. ;)

Really dodgy, Filterset-G too? Damn. Wonder why (too tird to download, install and go through that stuff to find what does it and then report it as a false positive now... ) - possibly the "ad-" combo there as well.
And putting the media elsewhere won't help at all, it's these letters in a doamin that are filtered: ad-, so media.ad-rag.com would be filtered out too. Every link on adland dies when you drive NIS, you just get a page full of text and no deep links to follow into the site.

Man I wish I had known this when I bought the url years ago.
