Keep getting the Godaddy banner on my website, and have tried the fix of putting the following code in the Head of index.

Code:

<style>
#conash3D0
{
display:none;
}
</style>

But with no luck?

Here is where I put it in my index page.

Code:

 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
  var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
  var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}

Any chance of some help?

What is your site's address? Is it hosted by GoDaddy? Is the ad display part of the hosting agreement? If not we'd need to see a page to determine what is causing the ads.

**peps1** · 12-12-2010, 07:03 AM

Sorry, yes it hosted on go daddy and the address is www.pigeonfx.com

**PaulW** · 12-12-2010, 07:08 AM

Right at the bottom of the page is a reference to a godaddy javascript file -- this is adding the banners. If you didn't put it in then their webserver is adding it -- as I said in the first post, is it a condition of your hosting that you carry the ad?

**peps1** · 12-12-2010, 07:11 AM

I cant see a reference to it in the T&C

**PaulW** · 12-12-2010, 07:20 AM

Delete the reference from your home page source, ie the bits after the end html (ie the last line containing 'https://a12.alphagodaddy.com/hosting_ads/gd01.js' ) and reload your home page. Is the line back again? If so, GoDaddy is adding it and you'll have to speak to them.

I am guessing that you opted for the free hosting with a domain purchase? Although this answer doesn't say whether it is against the terms and conditions it does suggest you shouldn't do it:

Was after technical help, not moral judgement.

This is not me trying to abuse a free service, I paid for domain reg all trimming! now if it not in the T&C I can see the problem with getting some help, especially when it seems to be such a wide spread practice looking at goggle results.

I'm not here to be a source of revenue for GoDaddy.

The point we are trying to make is that if you use the free hosting that comes with a domain purchase you are going to have ads.

If you don't want to pay for hosting live up to the TOS.

You can buy ad free hosting for a few bucks a month and really dependable hosting for $50 a year.

**Mug** · 12-12-2010, 03:58 PM

Not passing moral judgment just highlighting potential issues. I am guessing that Godaddy will have thought of most of the ways to get rid of the banners and will prevent any exploits. Otherwise they wouldn't get anything from offering a free service. Please choose to ignore my comment if you don't like it.

Is it in TOS?

**Mug** · 04:31 PM

"In the event You are using ad-supported hosting, You further acknowledge and agree that as adequate consideration for Go Daddy providing You with the Services at no cost to You, Go Daddy shall have the right to place certain advertisements on Your web site. The advertisements shall be based upon the content of Your web site and may include, but are not limited to, advertisements of Your competitors. If You do not desire such advertisements to be placed on Your web site, then You may purchase the Services at Go Daddy's then current rates."

I am in no way condoning or supporting this but you can find a way of preventing the ads by searching on Google. This may or may not be illegal.

Unfortunately non of the ways iv found on google have worked, from the one in the OP to placing iframe {display:none;important} in the CCS

**PaulW** · 12-12-2010, 05:18 PM

Blocking the ads is a breach of contract if you have a free site and it's extremely easy to detect even if you do manage it. BTW, reading through your posts in this thread you seem to have gone from having paid to not having paid and looking for a cheat -- remind me not to reply to a post of yours again.

**peps1** · 05:28 PM

Maybe you should reread the post, I stated that I paid for domains, along with a load of other products like email accounts, and forwarding.....nothing about hosting.

should I do that by PM?

Why do I get the feeling your thrown your toys out the pram, as you don't know the answer?

**chrishirst** · 12-12-2010, 05:54 PM

So just to clarify the point;

Have you actually paid for hosting or just paid for the hostname?

**maheshadodis** · 12-12-2010, 11:56 PM

Hi,
R u using Go daddy hosting if so please do ask with support team of go daddy so that they can fix it if you dont need the ad because they may have the code in their hosting panel so it is better ask for support team
