Does it have an in-frame modal that pops up immediately after page load to beg me for my email address?
What about an embedded video window that covers the bottom 2/3rds of the content and follows with scroll?
Oh and I hope you've not left out the absolutely mandatory "Read More" button that spawns a user interaction and auto-plays everything on the page.
Those are all of my favourite things on the web and I really enjoy seeing them all over the place!!

- ndriscoll 2y agoSaying people overwhelmingly choose ads is conceptualizing things wrong. Take this blog: it just copied a BI snippet about a study some other party did. No one even linked to the original study. People correctly value this at $0. This post is noise, and things like it just make web crawling/search harder to scale.
