Thanks for the feedback hhm.

So perhaps the demo page is too confusing. The ads are supposed to show up in the demo page when you move your mouse to the empty space of the site (http://www.emptyspaceads.com/about/demo). Could you please elaborate on your comment?

If I move the mouse into the empty space in the page, it shows me ads. That's ok. The problem is that it also shows me ads when I move the mouse into a Flash applet (I guess the program fails to detect that as content).

Ah I see. Can you tell me what OS & browser you were using? I've tested with many setups and the ads should go away when the mouse is over flash elements.

Opera + Flash 9 in Linux. I've tried in Firefox + Flash 7 in Linux too and it's somewhat messy there too. In both setups the ads appear and disappear at strange times when I move the mouse, not just when I enter the Flash area.
