As soon as they did their overall with the Ajaxy scroll box for ordering ads I was floored at how unusable it was. You can look at 4-5 ads at a time and if you have to scroll within a goddamn frame to see more for no reason. All it does is constrain a potential advertiser from seeing a full menu of offering and makes navigation difficult. And this is on Firefox. Using it on IE, good luck, the scrollbar is some flaky it jumps out of control. Everything about the site is archaic and hard to find. And as a publisher I have noticed that they seem to be selling less and less ads. Our site and sites I frequent who use BlogAds, seem to have half as many ads as they used to. If I were a professional advertiser, I think the sheer poor usability of BlogAds would be a big deterrent for me. As a whole, I don't think BlogAds gets its and it's particularly frustrating because they could make it into something great. I wish I owned it. I agree with you completely on BlogAds.
