    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

Note to readers about the site-stealing ads popping up

A number of readers have reported that go.goadvs.com sometimes redirect readers from the blog to its ads.  If you go "back" on your browser you can usually clear it quickly.   I've notified Typepad, and we'll see what we can do to fix this in the next day or two.  My apologies for these interruptions, and thanks to the several readers who flagged it.  (It happened to me once too!) 

Also, I'm opening comments for readers with suggestions about how to stop this.

UPDATE:  Per advice from the Typepad "help" team, I've removed the remnants of the "Site Meter" widget, which stopped functioning properly ages ago anyway.  But they think it is the culprit.  We'll see.

  1. Did this work for you (deleting site meter?)
    I think I'm having the same issue
    Thanks

    BL COMMENT: It appears to have solved the problem, yes.

  2. Thank you!

  3. I had same problem with our church website that I am webmaster for. go.goadv.com kept popping up every 4th or 5th page load. Removing sitemeter link seems to have eliminated the problem.
