every one that I've seen is a flash ad. i.e. no rollover link or readable URL.

Yes, every first visit. Usually it's a big 3D smiley advert. And I have a pop-up blocker cause it's built into Netscape 7.1.
Happens at some other sites too - Google Toolbar couldn't block it either. They also leave cookies on your computer - and I have my cookie settings on custom so that shouldn't be able to happen. The evil has obviously by now found out what the various blocks and settings use in their code and has changed their advert-coding so as to bypass what is there to keep them out.

(to be even more precise - when I loaded the page it automaticly took me down to the bottom of the page)

Edit: I'm using Firefox, btw, and still got it as a pop-up. Clever little rascals.
