Time and Space and Promotion Pollution

in blogging, web publishing

With any ad you run on your site con­sider the time you put into work­ing on the ad, the space and place it takes up on your site and the results you get from it. Think of the amount of space which shows when your blog first loads on your web browser. That is your ‘real estate’. Are you get­ting enough back for the space you are giv­ing up. Keep in mind that the space closer to the top of your page is more valu­able, just as loca­tion, loca­tion, loca­tion, mat­ters in real estate too. Most ads are not worth the time and space they consume.

Also, if you run a lot of ads you will also lose a lot of read­ers. Not every­one is eager to hunt and peck for con­tent through a for­est of ads. Is your site worth read­ing or are you just cre­at­ing a site full of pro­mo­tion and ad pol­lu­tion? There is also the prob­lem of hav­ing ads which need to be clicked upon. Peo­ple are becom­ing so used to ads they no longer see them. That means you won’t be get­ting clicks.
