Hi

I see some using the trick by fetching ads at the bottom of a page and
moving them to placeholders further up in the page. An old trick also
without problems. Do note that if you move a script tag with a
external reference to a JS file our beloved IE6 and IE7 will request
the external JS file once more. In the case of a ad system, ads will
be COUNTED TWICE due to this movement.

I did run into this problem some years ago with Ad Tech ads. Here are
a deeper explanation of the problem and a "solution":

Tough; ad systems such as Ad Tech could improve a lot in how they
include ads. I think the best approach in the long term are to talk to
the ad companies. Some years ago my company had several discussions
with Ad Tech regarding such problems. I think if several customers get
together it would also be worth to joining forces to talk to the
companies. Here in Norway you might be interested in talking to A-
Pressen Nye Medier about this Mads.

PS: There are ad companies solving this. I thing DoubleClick have a
proper solution on including ads. Though, a long time since I looked
at it.
