You are right that better web sites are built to load a page and then leave a blank spot where it’s waiting for a third-party image to load. I am much concern to you on this topic.

News sites should drop all advertising during any traffic surge. They should only "Advertise" their own ability to provide coverage as a top priority. If ad agencies can keep up it'll only hurt the news source anyway. A ridiculous premise….that there is advertising money to be made during news events.

Every now or so, you'll come across an ad that doesn't want to load and as a result, the entire web page doesn't load. I shouldn't have to sit and stare at the task bar which says waiting for <a href="http://ad.someting.com" rel="nofollow">ad.someting.com</a>, for 3min. just for an ad to load then finally the rest of the content loads. Here's to hoping businesses will start making a better layout to their sites. Good article, makes a good point about something that has annoyed me for a very long time.
