Mostly I'm not especially aware of paying attention to non-obstructive adverts but I believe they still instill an idea of a brand in your mind while you're not paying attention. For example, I bet if I put a word in black in the correct font on a carefully matched green background, then a high percentage of people could identify the Egg branding. There have been studies of similar things related to colours linked with various brands of cigarettes, I believe. Very occasionally something will intrigue me and might eventually lead to them gaining a sale via an actual advert. I get highly frustrated by interstatials and overlays but not to the extent that I can identify products that used them and boycott them.
I feel much the same way. Overlay adverts annoy me the most - as I can't get to what I want to see.
Google putting shopping results into its search results is something I actually like - I've used it several times - most recently when searching for a composite->SCART connector, when it told me I could have one for £3.50 :->
It's interesting: they're so helpful and welcome that I barely consider them advertising, since I sort of mentally associate advertising with me being asking to buy things I wouldn't otherwise want.
It's sort of like the (ethical version of) SEO marketing - it actually does what you want it to do by flagging up relevant and useful things when you google them.
When I'm at work, I have to access the internet through a terminal that runs off the mothership's corporate computer systems in California. Thus, images already make my experience laggy, moving .gif ads make me extra-twitchy, and anything made of flash basically stops the system cold. I'm already inclined to hate moving images because of the distraction factor (block 'em, boys!), but this experience has made me hate nearly all image-based advertising on websites.
Id be inclined to agree. Amateur boxing is more about technique and scoring points than trying to knock one another out. I would say on the subject of womens boxing though that womens professional boxing is duller than dishwater.
And of course it should - but I was hoping people might talk about it. I don't think it's something people actually care enough about to make comments though.

It's like the "Of the people looking at this page, 85% bought this item, 10% bought a variant, and 5% bought a yak." - it's just _useful_ to see that.
Mmmm. Yak.
