I find ads entertaining, for lack of a better word. This one did get everything right though (as opposed to this one):
It’s a PED-estal, basically a holder for iPods and whatnot, and it certainly caught my eye. I saw it on MacRumors’ Mac Buyer’s Guide, which is a truly targeted ad. I clicked it.
Advertisers! That’s the way to go.
Isn’t this hilarious?
We’ll be back to our scheduled program tomorrow.
Wisdump reader Gerard commented on the dummy design screenshot of the next version of Wisdump, wondering about the 125×125 pixel ad blocks that are so common on blogs these days.
However, the 125px ad blocks - aren’t we all becoming blind to these within the niche these days? I for one barely notice them anymore. Maybe there’s a challenge - to break that ad unit cliche?
Spot on, at least almost. While these 125×125 pixel ads certainly are very common, personally I at least give them a glance, and occasionally click them (which goes for all ads, I don’t shy away as a principle). To me, they haven’t degraded to the way one shies traditional banners on regular, ad-crammed sites, but maybe that’s just me.
