See how I did it. 92% success. Before/After pics. Men/Women. RestorationHair.com

I know the ad banners on this site cannot necessarily be controlled.  I found this one quite humorous

I'll tell you what banner ads are friggen annoying....the mortgage ones with the dancing/gyrating silhouettes.   Starting to really bug the crap outa me.

Have you seen these?   click here and look to the upper right of page.  www.cnn.com .   If it's a blockbuster ad close and click again.

I wonder what it costs these clowns to annoy the bajeepers outa everyone.

Yeah, if that was on the bottom of the site, I can't really control those.

Couldn't agree more Robmeister. They're ridiculous, and very annoying

One thing I learned in marketing was "to know your audience".  Think they need to go back and study Marketing 101

Yeah, Google Adwords really fails when it comes to this site!  This is because the people that bid the highest on the keyword "bald" are the hair restoration companies.

We're still a bit under the radar when it comes to number of visitors a day to get major advertisers like Armour All.  Though, give it time and I'm sure we'll have some knocking on the door.
