Did anyone else notice the banner ad on the site for IQ-European IQ?

"Test you IQ right now and compare it to your friends" would you trust it? :D

I dont know but I feel compelled to do it! Those IQ tests always make me feel less dumb coz I seem to have quite a high one despite my inane ramblings and lack of education!

Edit: Dont do it soccerc, its a mobile phone subscription thingy. grrr

Somebody send me the URL of the ad and I'll block it. "Test you IQ" indeed.

LOl, you copped the "test you IQ", though it doesn't look like others did!

If it generates revenue on clickthru's then leave it there;)

Mentions something about a mobile subscription service when asked for your number. Sounds a bit dodgy.

That's the reason why I'd like to block it. I hate those sub services, they're a total scam that prey on the weak (of knowledge).

EDIT: Is the one that makes a noise when you mouse over it from the same crowd? I want to delete that too. I'm not allowed click on my own ads though, and they do watch it.

That's the one, annoying squeezy toy type noise.
Can't copy shortcut for it, but click through points to http://www.iq-europeantest.com/?. As does Ctrl-C!

At least you have to move your cursor over that one to have it make noise.

There was an ad a few weeks ago with a thumping heart noise......had me baffled as to what was wrong with my machine!

I guess I wouldn't get too far with the IQ test. :o

Yeah but you passed the heart exam with flying colours

iq-europeantest.com blocked, it'll take a little while for it to be picked up by google.

atfconline, I have absolutely no problem blocking ads like that, just report them in the Support forum and I'll deal with it as soon as I see it.
