I know that websites need to be funded by advertising, but there are better ways to advertise sponsors than the annoying pop-ups. What was so wrong with incorporating the ad in the pages themselves like the good 'ol days?

This is what's wrong with the internet. Too much overly aggressive advertising. I seriously don't belive that annoying people with pop-up ads is going to make them buy a sponsor's product.

Be sure to tell your sponsor, because if they mandated that you post their ads this way, then they are clueless as to how to generate revenue based on internet advertising. Better yet, find another sponsor.
