I don't see the google ads, but there is an annoying flash column on the right

DOM is td id="sky" div id="floatlayer"  embed src="653.studyrama.com/"

I saw Google ads when I turned off ad-blocking, but not with it on.

"sky" and "floatlayer" alone seem too generic to use (they're suspect, but not slam-dunks for ads); does 653.studyrama.com seem to be their ad-server?

Confirming this and setting it to block June so it doesn't get missed again; I'm sure there's some good way we can block these.

'floatlayer' is a no-go; there is a script out there that uses it for the same thing as the studyrama.com site: faking 'position:fixed'.

I'll have a look around the site with 653.studyrama.com blocked.

After a couple of visits on studyrama.com,
embed[src*="653.studyrama.com"]
is a safe rule. On most pages they now carry 2 ~ 3 ads with that source.

The flash ads are now served piped through akamai, but always contain that string. All legitimate content is still visible.
