that kind of sums it up though, doesn't it. You avoid turning the page. This
means that you have to think about how & where you're moving your mouse when
you're on that page, which seriously compromises usability and enjoyment. If
I'm on the page to look at your photos I shouldn't have to be thinking about
the traps I need to avoid.
And since we're avoiding the ads they've become self-defeating.
This means the site host doesn't get the revenue, the advertiser doesn't get
the click-throughs, and the viewer doesn't get the full pleasure of your
site. So what's the point of the ads?
I use Firefox and I have the Adblock Plus plug-in for it... but I have
never used it. That's because I also have the FlashBlock plug-in. It
blocks all Flash elements on a page. It replaces each one with a flash
logo, which I can click on if I want to see the Flash content. This lets
me view Flash on the rare occasions I want to do so, and it blocks 99%
of the annoying ads.
I'm all in favor of supporting advertisers who support the web sites I
enjoy, but I won't tolerate those that annoy me.
Smart advertisers know that annoying potential customers is a bad idea.
As for the others...
