The fact that no user really enjoys banner advertising occupying their screen real estate, and that most of this advertising can be prevented from displaying with a simply installed browser plugin, makes the whole online advertising economy seem rather tenuous. And yet, some of the largest companies on the planet derive most of their value from it.
- jaawn 11y agoI don't think this is necessarily true. Attractive, non-animated banner ads are my "favorite" type of online advertising to encounter. Standard AdSense text ads are ugly and add so much clutter to the page because of the added text. If ads were usually like this, instead of resource-heavy Flash ads or ugly AdSense ads, I probably wouldn't use any ad blocking software. Static image banner ads are probably the only online advertising I have ever clicked or taken notice of.
