However, keep in mind that we are allowed to endorse or recommend the products as long as we do not encourage clicks on or draw unnatural attention to the referral buttons. The current state of the script will most likely draw unnatural attention. Perhaps some changes to the script to avoid this will do the trick.

I installed a small php snipplet to check the browser and if it is IE, the user will see a big red message. No forced click, just a big recommendation. Try it yourself at my site.

Forcing is not a good method. Why don't you just suggest the IE users to download Firefox. View my page using IE, and you will see the link on the very top of the page. The best thing is, make it yellow. If IE blocks pop-up, you will be see a yellow box at the top and tend to close it. In this case, more users will be aware of your ads.
