> I don't really mind a pop under. They pay for most of what I like on the internet. But if I have read one of them, am I likely to read the other 12 identical ads? If a clerk in a store gives you the same sales pitch over and over, aren't you likely to head for the door?

Clearly the advertising practice of sending you a dozen identical ads is not terribly effective. But I don't think it's anybody's fault that it happened. I think Rinkworks is hooked up to give you the Classmates popup with a certain (small) probability with each page that loads. It doesn't check if you already have one open. It just opens a new window and gives you the ad.

Sure, it's annoying when you wind up with twelve or thirteen of the same. But you're only getting one at a time.

What really makes no sense is why I get five spam e-mails in a row from the same person with the same subject line. At least there they should know that they're sending the same ad to the same person repeatedly.
