Loosing traffic with Bad Advertising

Image via Wikipedia

What do people think when they come to your blog. I have seen many blogs where is says at the top Firefox has blocked 3 maybe even 5 popups on this page. Popups worked about 10 years ago and what turns me off is when I see them. It gives the impression that they are trying to tell me something that I do not care about. Also that the owner is a cheat.

If your page does not interest people then that is your problem and there is no point in putting up popups on your page as people are just not interested in them and most have some kind of software that stops them so before anyone reads one line of your page they are gone because you are seen as a cheater and most popups lead to Gambling sites which are against the Google  Adsense TOS so you also get your Adsense account banned.

Now I think it would be better to stick with the prooved paying networks because these sites that you promote are making your blog blacklist worthy and you won't make any money. Plus they will almost surley not pay you or give false reports. This old method of Advertising simply does not work anymore and if people see these they will close them anyway.

So if you are promoting these you could be loosing out on programs that do pay as they are putting out a message that you are trying to cheat them and you are only cheating yourself by using them so be Carefull what you are Advertising on your Blog.
