I've got a couple sites, one running AdBrite and another AVNads (both Adbrite, basically). The last month or so I've noticed that when I load a page, it freezes when it gets to "Waiting for ads.adbrite.com..." in the status bar (in fact, my browser, not just this page, is completely useless at this stage). Looking at my traffic and revenue I see both plummeting at the same time I noticed this problem began. I've noticed this on other websites (not my own) that run Adbrite, so I'm surprised no one's posted about it here. I've emailed Adbrite but they've never responded. Anyone got a clue? In the meantime I've been forced to remove all Adbrite ads from my sites and run the lesser paying ads
this just started for you ? it's always been a problem since i have been with them which is years. Try placing ads in the footer or place your ads in an iframe. if you have inline ads enabled your best placing an ad in the footer with out an iframe, so the page can load first. Things should get beater though at least for avnads as they just announced they are moving servers for that product which will happen on December 1.
