Though I may or may not update this page as time goes by, I had to add these tips simply because those stupid pop-up adds annoy me to no end and I wanted to get the word out about these secrets. Keep in mind though, part of the contracts w/ Geocities, Tripod, and Xoom are that you have to have their ads on your site. =) If you've got any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

Geocities Pop-Up Adds
Geocities pop-up ads are annoying enough without the added watermark and little .gif at the bottom. To get rid of the pop-up ad, add the following tag at the end of your .html file:Tripod Pop-Up Adds
<noscript>
Of course, if you're running other scripts on your page, this tag will generate problems.
Very simple to toast the tripod ads. Don't have the following tags in your file (these are used at the beginning to denote the title tag, etc.):XOOM Bars
<head> and </head>
It seems as though Tripod has figured out our little secret here so the above task doesn't work anymore, at least for my page. I do have a tip for viewers of Tripod pages. Don't close the first banner page that opens. As long as one is kept open, others won't pop up. =)
Copy and paste the following script to your first page. It may help to have splash page, but I don't really care for those.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if (window != top)
top.location.href = self.location.href;
// -->
</script>From all your links on that page, inside the <a href> tags add:
TARGET="_TOP"
ex: <a href="name_of_your_file.html" target="_top">
Once again, make sure you only use relative links when linking within your site and to replace the italicized words with your information.
