Give Your Readers a Great User experience, Beware of Excessive ADS
A good visitor is a returning visitor.
Don't you hate when you visiting a website and when you reading about something you really enjoy ads keep popping up or worst, too many ads appearing in the middle of content mixing up your reading?
I HATE IT!
Most of the times I just close the website and never come back
I like to compare ads on a webpage to feeding soup to a child, if you give (stuff) him too many spoons of soup in short period of time, even if the child loves the taste you will get spitted...
Keep this in mind when monetizing your website
Have a great day
Cheers
Pedro

Very true. I do my best to avoid websites that have so many adds that I am scared to touch anything for fear of being redirected somewhere else.
Too many adds also hinder by ability to read what it was that I wanted to know. Great advise.
Hi Sondra
To much bells and whistles don't work for me ;)
and don't work for most of the people :P
cheers
Pedro,
You are so right. There are tasteful ways to put ads on your site and it still looks great and the user experience is good.
And then there are what I call spammy ways to put ads on your site and it's distasteful, interrupts your thought process and makes the user experience awful.
My input:
ALWAYS ALWAYS make the user experience your priority. Find tasteful ways to monetize your site.

Hi Glen,
I totally agree with you, we can monetize our websites in a clean way.
All we have to do is place the adds wisely so it won't disrupt the user experience.

I agree with you Pedro. Site owners need to use discretion when promoting ads on a site, particularly if ads are not intended as the main source of income.
Often, when people get traffic they flood their websites with adds to boost their online income...
the thing is, sometimes it backfires and works the other way around...
bad user experience = high bounce rate = drop on rankings = less visitors ;)
cheers
