I usually run on LG with my phone, well, at least at nights and on the weekends. Starting these last few days, there's a Wal-Mart pop-up ad on every page. If it's a glitch, or if it's just my phone, or if it's intentional for revenue purposes, I get it. Anyone know the answer?

It's certainly not intentional. We go out of our way to keep pop-up, pop-under, video, and audio out of our ads.

If you are using iOS 6, you can limit ad tracking which might reduce the WalMart and the Candy Crush App full page ads, go to Setting->General->About-> Limit Ad Tracking <On>

You can also clear out your browser's cache which could slow some of these ad trackers.

I spotted some new WalMart mobile ads, supposedly running in just Georgia, Texas and Maryland. I've turned them off. Let me know if that makes a difference.

All right I blocked WalMart's domain from another ad network, see if that clears things up in a few hours.
