Flash Ads
This point has been driven home before, but just to reiterate: your*(1) intrusive flash ads have the opposite effect. By popping up over the content I am trying to consume you’re ensuring that I will not purchase your product. I will then go out of my way to prevent other people from purchasing your product if I ever find myself in the appropriate situation.
While on the subject of annoying article sites, don’t split your articles in to multiple pages*(2). You’ll never get more than one click from me you sons of bitches!
With that said, it was hard for me to find good examples (still haven’t really), so it’s nice to see this trend dying out.
*1 Mainly news/article heavy sites. eWeek in particular!
*2 I’m looking at you sf weekly and every other site that makes it to the front page of digg.com.
P.S.
Have you tasted this Arizona+ Ice Tea Energy Herbal Tonic? AMAZING.
