The system has since been changed to small ad squares that still show up on the top right of each page but can now be customized according to your layout.

This mega free host service now owned by Lycos boasts a membership of over 4.5 million. The service offers a gargantuan 50 megabytes of space for your site and files.

However, Tripod does give you the option of choosing between popup or embedded banner ads.
