Thread: PPC ads question

I have noticed that nearly all the PPC Ads available by the likes of Google, Adbrite etc all load in the same page as the one where you are viewing. Is it possible to get them to open In a new tab? or new window? I.e. target="blank" type thing. I know Google are really hot on people modifying adsense code and that you can't do it. But would I get away with this on Adbrite?

According to the following thread, Adbrite told the user he's allowed but has to figure out how on his own. Getting AdBrite to Open in New Window

Thanks colleen. Should be easy enough to add some javascript in there.

Do it at your own risk, because this is why Adbrite does not officially support it.

hmm... maybe on second thoughts this is not such a good idea.

You want a cake and eat it too? lol you are getting paid for losing a visitor..... not irritating him/her with a new window. Alterbative is popup or pop under.

I was thinking more along the lines of a new tab. Not really that irritating imo.
