Peel ads...what's your experience?

As a surfer I find them really annoying. I've never used them so I have no idea if they generate sales or not.

I don't see much traffic (or any sales) from them. And I was using them long before sponsors caught onto them.

I used peel ads for a little while and after seeing how unproductive they were,I ended up removing them.I mean,they look 'cute' and eye catching but not to the point where every single sponsor should feel that they NEED to rip it off.

If you think about it,it's sort of retarded.It's just a simple graphic effect that creates the illusion that a web page has 'multiple layers' to it.As if the page is really just a huge bullshit full page ad at it's 'base layer' and it's being concealed with a 'top layer' the site and it's losing it's stick in the top right corner ....wow!
(or 'peel it' or 'pull me' or whatever..I can't keep up with all of them)

I say theres nothing some good ol' scotch tape can't fix so just take a piece and tape up that right corner! (remove those stupid peel ads because nobody clicks on them)

Precisely my own reply as well. Irks me when I accidentally hit one. Never used them for selling because I figure what bothers me so much will certainly bother surfers.
