Description- In an attempt to defeat us, The globe recently changed their popup code. The old solution may no longer work! But, don't worry we got you covered- a new solution is printed below:

I think that The globe actively looks for scripts to defeat the Popup ads. Here is the script you will need to make them stop, but it's been encoded to hide it from the server. Make sure that it is INSIDE your BODY tag (not in the HEAD of your document). The Popup will open briefly then close soon after. This is a "hijack" technique where you take over the window then close it out.

*Important! - This whole string of code (starting with 'eval') should be on ONE line. Don't break it up or separate it with spaces. The reason it is separated here is because my tables cause it to wrap to the next line. Don't use it on your page like this! To see an example of how it should be: view the Source Code of this page (Go to VIEW on your menubar and select SOURCE).

Special thanks to Bill Webb for sharing the tip below with many more on his site:
Counterexploitation and the Free Webpage Provider.

Bill Webb wrote and let me know this old 'Globe' solution still works! I'm not sure what to say: another guy wrote and said the solution didn't work. I went to check his page and verify this statement. Sure enough, the fake BODY trick wasn't working on his Globe page! So, I listed both solutions here. Pick the one that works best for you. The new one is up above, and the original trick is below.

This trick is the preferred method for eliminating the Popup Ad, since NOTHING appears at all. In the solution listed above, the window does open briefly, then closes again. It's kind of noticeable. Try this trick first:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<NOSCRIPT>
<!-- BODY -->
</NOSCRIPT>
<TITLE>Your title goes here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>


<!-- Your Homepage goes here -->

The server is programmed to put the script after the BODY tag of your page. By putting the fake BODY tag in your page, you trick the server into putting the Popup Ad script after the fake tag (in between the NOSCRIPT tags!) instead of the real BODY tag.
