Adsensers or “What’s next?”
Have you ever thought about web without advertisement? Don’t you think it’s possible? May be yes, may be no. But we have to give it a try…
Few years ago I was surprised seeing somebodies project with 3 blocks of google-like ads. “What’s that?”, - I thought, “Where is the content?”. Affiliate links and text ads made up to 80% of the site. It was unusual for 2001-2002 years. But now thousands of web-projects turned from good nice looking source of interesting news etc. into ugly monsters where one should search for the info he came for. And there is a tendence: as more popular is website as more banners it has. Ads on the top, ads on the left, right, bottom and even inside the content! That’s ugly! Pretty project becomes to look like a dirty chicken.
Yes, I understand that is a way to earn some money. But guys, why don’t you try to sell your content itself instead of selling your luck? “May be somebody will click the links and I’ll get a cent… or even dollar!”. People, please try to forget about that. I see more and more adsense-fishing sites without any sort of own content. With such a tendency our children have good chance to get web without something outdated earlier know as “good content”. Even now advertising of advertising is not astonishing.
Why am I writing this? I don’t expect wellknown bloggers and webmasters to remove superfluous. But I hope somebody (even if he’ll be one of a thousand) will read the post and decide to leave only one adsense block on the site instead of putting it everywhere.
Thanks.
