So it’s been a little over a year since the peel away ad has been introduced on adtoll. In general, would you say the peel away ad is gaining in popularity vs the 300×250, 728×90, etc, or is a dying ad format? For awhile there I saw many peel away ads, and now I dont see them so much nowadays on sites which leads me to believe they just weren’t effective for advertisers.

I just installed adtolls on all 4 of my sites and it seems to get a lot of views and hits from my truck forum. From my 3 blogs it just gets ok traffic. But from my truck forum so far over 700 hits in just the last day. I even got an advertiser less than 24 hours of enabling the peel away code. Not bad if you ask me.

I was unaware its been around for a while. I just picked up on this ad type a month or so ago.

I disagree. I think that if navigation bars are so high that small peel away links are interfering with clicks, then the site needs a redesign overhaul

As a consumer of ads, I love the idea. I feel this is going to be very successful, if not only because i peel away link in the corner is intriguing!

The peel away thing is kind of irritating. It sometimes inteferes with getting to the right things on a top nav bar. I don’t personally like it.

I like the peel away ad I see there, but possibly just because I was afraid it would be the kind that’s in the middle of the page so when you accidentally mouseover it grows vastly and interrupts everything you came there to do. There’s a blog I frequently read and comment on that has a big Boca Burger ad that does this, and I have to sit there and wait for the ad to shrink again. So annoying! So does not make me hungry!
