Yes, it is likely that the promotions for TRULIA (and soon ZILLOW) may be there, however,  it's mostly on the homepage. Not after you publish a blog post!

David,

You need to install AD BLOCK +.  NO MORE ADS!  At one point, I had underwear popping up on our home page, and this stops Google also...A

Do you remember not long ago a AR staffer posted a Question asking, what on AR can be monetized for the cash flow benefit of Trulia so Active Rain can pay it way?  The question was later edited to mask the real intent and AR users submitted stuff like font and back ground changes.

Well, they've decided to go old school and annoy us until we surrender.

So, AR members, what feature would you like to appear on AR that you would be willing to pay for, then perhaps they willl rethink the annoy stategy.

Hi David --- I also haven't noticed it yet -- I do see Trulia and other ads on AR -- I have been able to ignore them for the most part.

David, I have seen several ads around various places on AR now.  I is a fact that we are probably going to have to live with.  That is better than the monthy rates going up.

It's not quite annoying yet, but it's certainly headed in that direction.

In short - IMHO - yes. In a broader sense - it shows the increased tracking capability of the site. Whether or not I like being "offered" those things - I do have the choice to look or not look! LOL

Have a happy day -

I had that a few weeks ago.  Part of what I hate about the ownership now and just before.   Never had that issue before Trulia came along.

Just ignore the pop ups. Google is sending pop ups based on our browsing history every chance they get and I have learned to tune them out and can't tell you about any I have seen in weeks.

I haven't had that happen yet, but if it did that would get annoying.
