Discussing the Internet, blogging, and business.

I have to admit that I surf the Web quite a lot and very often I feel like I am bombarded by ads. I do not mind regular text ads, but I especially dislike flashy ads. That is because they are very distracting and they can be quite annoying if you look at them for a long time. Such flashy ads are usually created using the Adobe Flash multimedia platform.

Do advertisers really need to make ads so flashy to grab our attention? When it comes to me, I usually ignore flashy ads.However, since there is no easy way to disable all ads, we might need to learn to live with them. Actually, it is not true that I do not like all type of ads, as sometimes I might benefit from visiting a site that is being advertised somewhere. That is especially the case if it is a relevant advertisement. I simply dislike irrelevant ads, because I have no interest in them. I like properly placed ads that do not contain nudity and advertise a product related to the website I am visiting. I think that those are some points that every webmaster should remember, because at some point of time he will be faced with a decision whether to include a particular ad or not.
