[uniaxaj]

Hello

I own a site which has got sizable amount of pageviews per user.
an average of about 10 pages per user.
I have a banner ad in the top most location.
I find that im loosing lot of impressions bcoz th user navigates pretty quickly.
and still the ad has not loaded.

Is there any way to make the ad appear first and then the page?

do you mean interstitials, or actually wait on page loading until the entire ad has been downloaded? (i've seen it done, but don't know what happens when the ad won't load)

I meant banner ads..its taking time to load the banner ads... my page is loading quicker than the ads.

in my experience a javascript document.write('yourhtmlhere'); will cause browser to finish with the 'yourhtmlhere' before it draws the html after.
