Boooo.
i for one will not give my business to stores that buy that advertising space.
If all of our visitors felt that way there wouldn?t be a noreast.com
Botumfeder,
Users will see each add only once and personally I don?t fell that it?s too intrusive. That?s not every time they visit, just once. We are also very selective as to what we accept for advertising, and we will only show items that we feel our users will be interested in. We have turned down numerous run of the mill ads in the past and we have no intention of ever running them.
As you can imagine the overhead on this site is enormous as we employ one full time programmer, and a part timer along with 16-editors covering 5-states and we maintain the site across 4 web servers. We fully support the web cam ? with a new one coming soon ? and we spend numerous hours each week on the phone providing tech support. All of this takes money and we will continue to explore potential revenue streams to support it.
The full page redirect has been found to be very effective and it?s employed by many major websites. It?s no different than an ad you hear on the radio or see on TV or even read in a magazine, and hopefully the majority of our visitors understand that. Beacuse we need them to support our advertisers, just as they do in our print edition.
