An Advertising No-No

[netsavy006]

I don't know what the type of ad being used is called (I call it "full page ad")

The site itself looks professionally done, but on every link that you visit, the "full page ad" comes up.

I think that's one of the "pet-peeves" and "ad no-nos"

Here's the site in question:
http://www.estufs.com/

you mean the ad on the side? the big yellow one?

 

[netsavy006]

It's also called the Inter-Ad (Interstitial Ad)

 

[Ascent]

He means the entire page pop-up ad.

Yeah, I hate those. It's a huge turn-off to visitors. I think that by using those ads, you'll only make less money in the long run.

 

[Acorn]

I didn't see any full page ad...

 

[StripesAndFins]

I didn't see any full page ad...

me niether :shrug: :shrug:

Could be they removed it. Nobody likes a popup, especially nowadays when they are often viewed as a sign that the site is potentially dangerous.

 

[Justin]

I saw it, personally, another way to get money.

 

[Lee Lawson]

Nope I only see 2 side bar ads, but I have blocked all pop-ups.

 

[David]

I didn't see any full page ad...

Didn't see one as well. Though, the flashy banners down the side are annoying.

 

[MissTake]

That's why I always use Adblock Plus with Firefox 😉

 

[Darthmaul]

I saw it, and i feel it is a huge turnoff for visitors

 

[StripesAndFins]

Ok, I think i just saw it. I agree, it is a huge turnoff.

For those who may still be confused or never saw the ad, here's a pic of what I'm talking about:

Now you can see what I mean...

And it doesn't just show up when you visit the site. It shows up on every tab you click...
(at least it did for me.)

 

[SheepishWolf]

Ugh, these make me leave the site right away, as I don't care to waste a few moments to see an annoying ad from a advertiser of whom I will never go to, just because they have really annoying methods of advertising.

Those are annoying. Good advertising enhances the content of a site, not distracts you from it...

 

[netsavy006]

Any further opinions about this type of advertising?

its just some miscalls been bugging me now i know where they are from thanks to netsavy006 once again.

and apart from that full page ads thing (which i dont see) this site looks good with lots of useful stuffs.

 

[Existence]

That's relatively annoying.

 

[Grumpy]

I block popups, but even the other adverts that are on there are a bit too much.
