While on ‘blog walking’ activity, I often see blog that put so many banner ads from so many affiliate programs or ‘online business networking’ without seeing or notice ‘the beauty’ of its layout. Four 125×125 banners over there, 300×300 or 250×250 banner over here, giant 728×90 on the header and footer, Google Adsense inserted on every post, etc.
Although the blog contains a very interesting information, I immediately said to myself “Is it a blog or advertising on parade?” Smile, and walking away to another blogs! (don’t expect me to come back!)
Of course, there is nothing wrong to put some advertising on your blog, you may wish to get some extra money on your blogging activities … or whatever reason you may have. But, you must ’stay focused’ on your visitors main reason when they came to your blog, “They want information, not to admire your banner ads!”
It is not wise to ‘install’ so many banner ads, first – too many banners will increase your blog loading times, most visitors with slow Internet connection (just like me) will say goodbye to find better loading blogs that contain the same information. Second – too many banners ads will decrease your ‘personal blogging credibility’ “Oh yeah! I think you are one of those ‘quick rich or overnight millionaires wannabe”.
So what is the solution?
Why don’t you rotate your banner ads in random? Imagine what is in your visitors mind when he or she browse on your blog pages and notice the banner ‘is changing’, and also your blog will looks ’so catchy, neat and clean’
Here at ADMARKETPRO, I use Datafeedr Random Ads. It is a free plugin which allows you to simply and easily show random ads anywhere in your template files or using widgets (sorry, this plugin is for WORDPRESS only). As you notice, I only put 3 slot of banner ads, one on the header and two on the sidebar and they will rotate all the advertising when visitor browse on the pages. Nice!
