Serve content related ads and don't track. I'd be fine with that.
- Waterluvian 7y agoSame. But I think that once you've screwed the pooch this bad, you can't just take a single step backwards and expect everyone to be fine with that. The trust is gone. You've got to reboot and rebrand somehow.
- iscrewyou 7y agoDon’t track. Serve ads in a designated space across all pages (sidebar). I personally would happily uninstall adblocker if those two things came true.
- jacquesm 7y agoThe problem is that the advertising companies wanted the offline marketing spend so much that they started selling the dream of tracking with specificity, which caused marketeers the world over to finally have an answer to the age old 'I don't know which half I spend wrong' question.
- Xavdidtheshadow 7y agoAdvent of Code does a great job at this. Its ads are text-based, relevant, and unintrusive. Of course, it has a pretty particular aesthetic, but plenty of sites could do a simple (non-animated) image or text to surface their sponsor without being annoying.
- jroschen 7y agoShameless plug: this is what we are trying to do at https://contextcue.com https://contextcue.com. Ads that are targeted to the website you’re on, instead of the person viewing the ad. We’d love any feedback about what we are trying to accomplish!
- dhimes 7y agoThat's great! I wish you well.
