Valueclick medium rectangle slows down my site

    Hi.

    Am wondering if any of you are experiencing this:
    1. Site loads to the point where it tries to load the medium rectangle, then stops on both IE7 and Firefox2.
    2. Hit "Refresh" and everything then loads up fine.

    The site is running Wordpress 2.2.

    It only started to happen recently. I've since taken it off because if it's pissing me off, I'm sure it's pissing off my readers. Though I'd like to put it back because it's a good earner.

    Thanks.

    could they be flash ads.try disabling them if you can.
    you can also try using iframe.

    yeah, iframes are what a few threads have suggested after I've googled the question. Could be the way to go. Thanks!

    For those interested, here's how I improved my site loading time with regards to the slow Valueclick ads.

    I placed the Valueclick ad code in a dummy HTML page (dummy.html) like this:
    <html>
<!-- ValueClick Media 300x250 Medium Rectangle CODE for mooiness.com -->
CODE CODE CODE
<!-- ValueClick Media 300x250 Medium Rectangle CODE for mooiness.com -->
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Then on my template, I call it using an iframe:
    <iframe
name="Valueclick300x250"
width="300"
height="250"
frameborder="0"
src="http://mooiness.com/dummy.html"
marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0"
vspace="0"
hspace="0"
allowtransparency="true"
scrolling="no"
>
</iframe>
    Code (markup):

    You should ad a nofollow tag to it also ;) I just iframed mine also, finally got time to get around to it.... anyway, I hope we do not get banned for doing it.

    Valueclick ads are CPM-based - this is still legitimately showing the ads, so I don't use why we would get banned. I didn't see anything in their terms that we can't do this.
