Put Domaining.com banners in an iframe

[GeorgeK]

I've noticed this site loads extremely slowly at times. I believe the reason for the slowdown is because the pages can't be drawn until the domaining.com banner ads load completely.

I checked their site, and get the following error message:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31'

Timeout expired

/Default.asp, line 1026

and presumably that's why their banners aren't loading here. If the banners were in an iframe, or with fixed sizes specified in the HTML, I think at least the rest of the page would render, even if the banners didn't load.

Alternatively, one could use a more reliable ad server, e.g. even free ones like the one from Google:

It's 1am in France and Francois is asleep. Adam, emailed you a while back

I logged in and suspended it until it's fixed.

Should be fine now.

Thanks guys!

Ah, the French never surrender!

Another technique is to load the banner at the bottom of the page's HTML, and then use CSS to position it at the top right, etc.

I prefer to have a "red telephone" to wake up Francois at 3am Paris time

hook up with the company dishing out targeted traffic via double click
decented high value cpc traffic like this site (domain registration is a decent cpc)
they won't slow you down like what you have
or just get in bed with the king bobby parsons
sedo can't pay what parsons does
so I'd be pushing all my traffic (if I were you) to parsons
when you have a high traffic niche with a high cpc term, you got to the guy paying the most per click, it's parsons

Too funny, both Domaining.com and Namebee are currently down.
