Have some content with your ad

Posted by Don Day on November 26, 2007

I just clicked on a story at the Hollywood Reporter and was presented with quite possibly the largest normal-placement ad unit I’ve ever seen (outside of interstitials and other “special” ads). The ad measures 475X900. Amazingly, since the page is mostly clutter-free, the ad isn’t as obnoxious as it could be.

Update: I just read another story – and got an ad with white flashes in it – which makes it really hard to read the story because your eye is constantly being distracted. So maybe it is obnoxious.

And there’s room for a couple large rectangle ads under the story copy. Or better! Above it.

I saw the site today too. Like the page-grab you posted above, the ad I saw was for a movie too. It’s a great ad-size for Hollywood to promote itself — it looks like a movie poster outside a theater.

I got the flasher too. Distinctly obnoxious. Grossly obnoxious. Can’t they at least set it up so it doesn’t become active unless you have your cursor on it? That way you could read the article in peace, and watch the ad if you felt like it. Give me the choice, damn it!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

MLM is the online midway, crammed with enthusiasm, gurus and guru wannabes. Every one of the melodies of MLM have already been played endlessly. You can certainly fill your time, spend many hours on conference calls or at webinars. And usually there is something new, or certain add-on, or certain secret no one else knows however which people who click on the same marketing letter can certainly ascertain for an amount that also has been lowered 3 times to some all-time low $

This site appears to recieve a large ammount of visitors. How do you promote it? It offers a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to give info on is the most important thing.

http://topsy.com/twitter/page3929 how to increase youtube views

When your YouTube views freeze they’re apparently for no cause right? nope that is no the case, YouTube freezes a video whenever it’s system scans to see if many of the views are real. this more often than not happens on the 300 view mark.

The first manner in which is upload a tutorial video. People always are looking for how to videos. If you are good at doing some thing make sure you put up a by video about it. I am positive that someone will need to have your instructions. And they will view you video.
