That darn Ad I'm always accidentally clicking on it, the amount of pages it has opened on my iPad is unbelieveable, if only I was a girl I would surely get a discount for the all traffic I generate!!

Careful you do not buy something you do not want. There are all sorts of ads integrated. When you play a game, you may think you are still only playing, when you are actually buying something.

What ad?

I have the same problem when using an iPad. Sometimes the links, such as page numbers for a long thread or the 'next' link, are tricky to click on as there is an avert right next to them. Lots of sites cram adverts into every bit of space they can.

Guys can get their insurance from Sheila's Wheels if they apply, but according to their website "men are welcome to take out a policy with us but our benefits are ones that women will appreciate". I suspect the "Handbag cover up to £300" is a case in point, unless it also includes "manbags"

Turn off in-app purchases in the Settings app and you'll never be duped into buying something. Only turn it on when you actually want to make an in-app purchase, then turn it back off afterwards.
