If I see another Google ad my head is going to explode
Posted on May 2, 2008 by Danny DeMicheleAre you as sick of seeing the ad below as much as me?
If I see another Google ad my head will explode.
With the reach they currently have, I believe Google will start doing more bad than good for themselves. They will have the same issue that Alta Vista/Yahoo/Excite had in the 90′s. Although banner ads are now have a click through rate of under 1%, when they first came out, you could get a click through rate close to 6%.
Right now, all data shows that text ad’s kick the crap out of graphic ads all day long. The problem is that more than 50% of ad-based websites are displaying Google ad results. If people see the same thing over and over again, they will simply stop clicking on them.
Website owners, please start spreading your wings a bit. There are other ways to make money and more advertisements to make money on. The more we see them, the less often we will click.

I have a killer day job so I am going to stay away from polluting the site with lame ads. Once I find the right way to monetize it, I will be all about it.
