Can't DU block ads like this from showing here? Seems like Google ads, etc. should allow that. (Original Post) cascadiance Apr 2014 OP

Unless I am mistaken DU gets paid for every click and the Conger campaign is paying for those clicks. So the more of us who click, the better for DU, worse for a republicon and it's not like we're going to vote for him. Am I right?

I briefly worked for a company that served ads like that. They're either paying per display or paying per click; you can't tell from looking at it, but at the very least, you can rest assured that whatever money they're spending on that ad is wasted.

For a while, it seemed I was inundated with Pat Toomey ads (yes, this was a while ago). Since I've never lived in Pennsylvania, I took twice the pleasure at his money being wasted on my eyeballs.
