    What annoys me is when the page loads on your phone and just as you click, the whole page bounces down as it loads an ad so as I click, I click the ad instead of the intended link.

    I tend to avoid that website after that

    I can testify that I end up on Uniregistry many times and bounce back again; Regarding the many Uniregistry ads on domain sites.

    Having said that, Ive never felt compelled to click on any ads ever.
