Abstract

A system and method for extending a display of advertisements on a client web browser as provided. The method includes a response to a request for a web page presenting an advertisement associated with a web page and randomly embedding a control for proceeding to the web page in the display of the advertisement. Upon presenting the advertisement for display, a randomly displayed feature must be activated by the user. Thereupon in response to the user activation of the control, the advertisement is deleted and the display proceeds to the requested web page, thereby displaying advertisements for extended viewing by a user.
