Why is 1/2 of my home page covered in advertising that I don't want?

Do you have your very-own domain? Or, are you using a 'free' homepage on someone else's domain.

I'll bet that advertising is paying for your 'free' homepage, so the ONLY choice you exercised was to make a homepage on that stranger's domain.

If your website just happens to be super-popular - that stranger gets lots of dough (through the advertising) for minimal effort.
Groovy, huh?

If you are talking about the new Yahoo home page, you can post your comments on yahoo.uservoice.com (sponsored by Yahoo - free to visit). There is no way to eliminate the ads currently. Unless you use a browser that lets you block all ads (Chrome and Firefox).
Yahoo is using the ads to build revenue.

try adblockplus download. I use it on IE 10, Win7.

I don't have a Yahoo home page, tho.
