cannot get rid of yahoo ad banner at bottom of my page

[Beemer Biker]

I complained to yahoo about the banner and this is what yahoo said:

"As I understand you want to hide the ad that appears at the bottom of
your webpage.

We're sorry, it is not currently possible to hide that ad through
Yahoo! Domains service. We do not have an estimated date as to when the
feature will be available to hide this ad. However, we'll pass your
comments on to our Development team for further consideration"

I cannot find that yahoo ad in my html, it comes from their server.

Last year that banner was on my http://ResearchRiders.org web page but
somehow it was removed. I am not sure what I did to get rid of it, but I
cannot seem to do the same thing at http://TipsForTheComputingImpaired.com
Both are located at stateson.net and all 3 belong to me.

Is there some way I can have the "index.htm" launch itself in a new
window? I noticed that if I launch a new window from one of my hyperlinks,
the yahoo ad banner is no longer is present in the new window. How do I do
that on my first page?

....thanks in advance...

This is the price you pay for "free" or very-low-cost Web hosting.

For $20-$30 a month, there are many, many hosting services that won't append
ads to your pages, and that provide other valuable benefits as well.

Actually, here's a list of places to look at. I just received it on a mailing
list
I subscribe to.

Please note that I have no experience with any of these providers. Therefore,
I can't endorse them and won't endorse them.

Also, the prices listed are for the cheapest available plan. In many cases,
you
may end up choosing something that's slightly more expensive. For example,
as a FrontPage user, you'll generally have fewer problems if you choose
hosting
on Windows Server 2003.

www.chrystaltech.com $16.95/mo w/MySQL
www.themooseisloose.com $2.95/mo w/no DB or $5.98/mo w/SQL Server
www.protohost.com $9.95/mo w/SQL Server

The following is also a good place to look for a hosting service.

Thanks. The problems seems to be the domain name I bought thru yahoo, not
that they are hosting the page. I moved the (sub)page from my yahoo "small
business page" to my ISP "free" webpage at grandecom and went back to yahoo
domain and changed the domain forwarding to my personal account at grandecom
thinking that would solve the problem. It did not. Yahoo is attaching a
banner add at the bottom of the domainname forwarding. There is probably a
way to get rid of that banner page since it disappears if any of the links
in the main page are clicked on. I need something like "click to enter" or
automatically have the a dummy "index.htm" page at grandecom launch the real
one in an full window. Not sure how to do that. I purchased two other
domain names stateson.net and ResearchRiders.org some time ago and I dont
have the problem with the banner ad on those pages. Possibly because they
do not end in ".com" like the other one.

There must be something different about the way Yahoo is hosting the problem
site. Perhaps it has to do with the type of service you signed up for, or
that Yahoo believes you signed up for. It seems that Yahoo tech support could
figure that out, though.

If the ad is only appearing on the home page, perhaps this article might help:

The domain re-direction is being done via a frameset.

Thanks! solved the problem after looking at the above redirection and then
googleing

what didnt work (the refresh idea)
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3;URL=./xxx" TARGET = "_top">
---unfortunately, TARGET does not work with meta. Clicking within the 3
seconds works fine, but the timeout leaves you in the same frame

what did work (java script)
<script>
top.location.href="./xxx"
</script>

Will this solution always work or do I need to put in a timeout with a
"click to enter"?

....thanks...

It "should" always work unless, of course, the Web visitor has turned off
JavaScript.

FWIW, after I mentioned to Yahoo that my ResearchRiders.org page did *NOT*
have the banner, sure enough, a few days later, the banner appeared. I will
be adding that script redirectory to get rid of the banner they just put on
my web page.
