Can't See The Ads?
Here is what you do:
Your hosts file tells your local computer where domain names on the internet are mapped to (IP addresses). You'll find your local hosts file here:
Windows XP Pro/Home - c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows NT/2000 - c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows 95/98/Me - c:\windows\hosts
Hosts is actually the name of the file (with no extension at the end), not a directory.
To fix the problem, we want to open it up in Notepad.exe. It's a good idea to save a backup of the file first, just in case.
When you open it up, it'll look something like this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
Every site below, with a 127.0.0.1 next to it will be sent to your local computer, instead of being routed to the correct website. To allow your computer to correctly reach these sites, simply delete that line. Here are a few that you may see there which are necessary to take advantage of many of the discounts you see here:
127.0.0.1 service.bfast.com
127.0.0.1 click.linksynergy.com
127.0.0.1 clickserve.cc-dt.com
127.0.0.1 www.qksrv.net
127.0.0.1 adfarm.mediaplex.com
127.0.0.1 mediaplex.com
127.0.0.1 www.mediaplex.com
After deleting these lines out of your hosts file, save it and close it. After rebooting, you will be able to see the ads.
You may also have a pop up blocker that is not letting you see the ads, refer to its manal to see how to unblock ads when clicking on them. Google's blocker uses the command 'Ctrl' + Click to pop up the ad.
