I'm currently looking at the latest scores page on the BBC web site (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/live_scores/default.stm
) and there are two adverts on the page. One advert is between the
grey and red bar at the top of the page and the other is down the
right hand side.
Now i'm using a UK ISP Bulldog to access the site, so i'm a bit
confused why i am seeing these adverts as the FAQ states that the
accuracy is 99.6%.
I've just checked my IP address 84.9.146.*** with several free ip to
location databases and they all report this ip address is located in
the UK.
It looks like for some reason i was redirected to http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/
and that appears to be displaying adverts to everyone when they are
available. If you access that you will see while the page loads
there is a big white box at the top where adverts appear.
There is a form you can use to report this at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/feedback/bbci_adverts.shtml
I can see it because I am currently out of the UK - not sure if you
can easily find it if you are in the UK :-)
It is linked from http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc.com/faq/ - which was the
destination of the only ad I saw that page when I viewed it. The text
in the, clearly marked as an advertisment, RHS ad went along the lines
of "Notice any thing different? Find out what has changed on the BBC
Website". Plus a small 'advertise with us' link at the bottom of the
page in the credits etc. http://advertisewithus.bbc.com/
Just reloaded the page and the advert is now at the bottom of the page
- above the Credits links and below the Section Links.
