Link to report bad advertisements?

Thu Jul 26, 2007 6:46 am

I recently saw an ad for "DriveCleaner" that informed me through a pop up that my marriage and career are in danger because of certain files on my computer I may not have deleted completely. It then proceeded to ask if I wanted to register for DriveCleaner to have them removed. I closed the popup, but then my Google toolbar told me that "this site" might require me to install something to do with that DriveCleaner thing.

It's just my opinion, but that doesn't seem like something Neopets would want on their site. However, I can't seem to find the place that lets me report ads. Can someone help me out? o_O

I've seen that too. I thought it came from another site...but now I'm sad to hear to came from neopets instead.

I just email them w. a general request. I figure someone would forward it to the right people.

Neo has a page in the Contact Us area concerning banner ads right here

Thankfully I have never had this problem, since the top ads never even show up, and I don't read them anyway.


Here is what the page says if you don't want to click the link:

Banner Ad Feedback

If you have come across an ad that:

- you feel is offensive or inappropriate for the site.
- is not loading properly or if there is some other noticeable problem with it.

Then please send an e-mail to adreport@neopets.com

It is important to include ALL of the following in the e-mail so that we can locate the ad in question and investigate and resolve your issue.



reason(s) why you found this ad offensive or what problem(s) the ad is having on your web browser.

the source code of the page
- you can attain this by right clicking on the page and selecting "view source" or "view page source" or by finding those options by selecting "view" at the top menu of your browser.

a screenshot of the ad you are reporting.



We greatly value the opinions and feedback from our users.

Thank you!

Thanks. I guess I wasn't looking hard enough... :s

Unfortunately, I didn't think to get the source code. Hopefully someone else has reported it.

It seems that TNT could at least test those banner ads first.
