More Annoying, More of the Time2

This blogger says her beaver is angry! So what originally pissed Marzie the Mariucan off? THIS!
In my recent post, Ten Ways To Become A Famous Blogger, I pointed out one major annoyance that is sweeping thru twitter right now: people tweeting annoyances.

Nothing irks blog readers (blogders) more than some idiot who sends out a tweet with a catchy headline that links back to a blog that only has a link to another person's blog. A big time-waster!

The worst offenders appear to Malaysian bloggers. Twitter prohibits re-tweeting the same crap over and over again, but they circumvent the rules and manage to get away with it. They also publish ads disguised as posts.
There's another annoyance that is resurfacing: super-annoying popup ads that completely take over computers that open them. This morning I went to visit one of the blogs I drop ECs on, http://heniperrr.blogspot.com/, and was just about to drop when the screen went blank and was overaken by a box. URL information being displayed in the lower left corner or my FireFox browser showed URLs containing terms including "seekyz.com" and "serw.clicksor.com" and "clicksor," although when I peered into the blog sourcecode the "find" feature wasn't able to detect any such character strings or text.
I had an experience with one of these intrusive ads when I was writing the old "Capital Region People" blog. Secretly piggybacked on a widget there came a popup ad so cleverly disguised it took three people to finally figure out the source. The widget that injected it had been on my blog for about four months, so it wasn't immediately apparent that it was the source.How to pinpoint and remove an offending widget? Go to your template and one at a time, remove and then re-add the code for every widget and badge on your blog. Unless someone has managed to break into your account and add malicious code (usually happens on WordPress) you'll eventually find the pest, and then be sure to alert other bloggers! or take honest inquiries the wrong way!
