Annoying Internet Ads: An Open Letter To Digital Marketers Everywhere

I gave a nice interview to MICHAEL O’DWYER for IPSwitch and he wrote the following article: Annoying Internet Ads: An Open Letter To Digital Marketers Everywhere

“Ads consume bandwidth, especially those delivered as Flash or code. If you’re on a mobile device, with a small screen, the ads will also cover a good portion of the screen, thus making it difficult or even impossible to see the desired content you want to see,” says Sorin Mustaca, CSSLP, Security+, Project+, an independent IT security consultant.

“[Over] the last 3 years, we hear[d] more and more about malvertising — the delivery of malicious software instead of ads, or in parallel with ads,” adds Mustaca.

What can be done?

Certainly, the solution is not to remove ads completely. They finance a large part of the free Internet.

Make them not so intrusive anymore. Make them smart and useful – make them related to the content you’re reading.

How?

On this site and especially on www.ITSecurityNews.info I use Adsense through Google’s own WordPress plugin for Adsense. It inserts up to 3 dynamic ads on a page and if there is the danger of having too many ads for the existing text, the ads do not show.

Yes, I make a lot less money than before, but I am not trying to make a living out of ads 🙂

And I also think that my audience is much happier with these ads.
