I can't see an ad anywhere on the page. Am I looking at the right page?

It may be because I use my hosts file to block most web advertising
content. The hosts file tells the computer where to look for certain
domain names. I have almost all web advertiser's domain names redirected
to 127.0.0.1
The file name is Hosts with no extension. On windoze boxes it's located
in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc". Windows installs an empty hosts
file by default.
Mine's about a thousand lines like:
# [Doubleclick][Tracking Service][IE-SpyAd]
127.0.0.1 eqchmdnvip1.2mdn.net #[SiteAdvisor.zapspot]
127.0.0.1 m.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 m1.2mdn.net #[a509.cd.akamai.net]
127.0.0.1 m2.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 m.uk.2mdn.net
...
127.0.0.1 ad.es.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.fi.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.fr.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.hk.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.hu.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.ie.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.in.doubleclick.net
Since none of these domains ARE located on my computer, they just come
up null, with occasionally an "Unable to Display" message.
Google "hosts file".
You can download a zip file and unzip it to where-ever your computer
keeps its Hosts file and voila - ninety percent of web advertising (the
most offensive 90% ~ spyware and all that) is gone.
