Here's how you go about
getting rid of the ads.
- STEP
#1.
After having created and published your site to a free hosting service, say
Tripod, create a new blank file called index.html.
Note: This is an html file, and not an htm file. Html files have
the first right to load as compared to an htm file of the same name, just as
exe files are executed in preference to com files with the same name.
After having created the blank index.html file, include ONLY
the following codes into it.
Where XXX
is your domain name. For example, if your domain name is mysite, your URL on
Tripod will be http://mysite.tripod.com. Save this file into your ROOT
directory.
Note: Index.html
does not have a <body> tag. Relax, that's how it's meant to be.

STEP # 2.
Next, change all the links present in all your pages to point to the
following:
http://cgi.tripod.com/XXX/cgi-bin/no_ads.pl?YYY.htm
Where, XXX
is your domain name as before, and YYY.htm
is the name of the page this link points to.
EXAMPLE: Suppose
your domain name is mysite, and the name of the page that this link points
to is my_hobbies.htm. Then you will change the link to,
http://cgi.tripod.com/mysite/cgi-bin/no_ads.pl?my_hobbies.htm
Now when a visitor to your site clicks on the link My Hobbies, your page
titled my_hobbies will appear, but without the ads.
DEMO:
Click on this link: My
Hobbies. A page called my_hobbies.htm will open which will not contain
any ads.
Do This exercise for ALL
pages
from which you want to remove your ads.
- STEP #
3.
Now upload your site once again, this time to the cgi-bin directory. The cgi-bin
directory figures in your root directory.
NOTE: If
you are using Frontpage extensions on your site, you will not be able to
publish your site to the cgi-bin directory using MS FrontPage because
Frontpage extensions cannot be enabled for the cgi-bin directory. If this is
the case, ftp you site to the cgi-bin. The easiest way of doing this is by
using Cute Ftp. You can download
