I don't think most online ads are that bad (even that Bacardi ad Banger!!). Easier to ignore then other mediums. I actually do click on ads for other sites I visit since I know it supports the sites.

 

A couple points to remember while going through the list:

  • People basically hate all advertising. But they also know and accept that it's the cost of free content.
  • ...

I hate the ones like that old Depeche Mode one where if you even moved your cursor near it it would expand and prevent you from getting to shit underneath it.

Are all ad clicks driven solely by the desire to support the host site, or do people ever click them because they're actually interested in the product? I know I'm solidly in the first camp, with Daba.

*This excludes American Apparel ads.

I need more reports like this to come out. It ain't just about the click dammit!!!

 

For years, Web publishers have had a love-hate relationship with what has become the standard metric for online ad effectiveness: the click. It’s certainly an indication that a prospective customer saw the ad. But surely it’s not the only indication. The problem is that marketers haven’t been able to agree on other metrics for whether an ad was seen, let alone whether it was effective in spurring eventual sales. Publishers clearly think branded display ads can do just that, and they want to get paid for running them even if they don’t get a click.

 

Now they’re offering up some evidence. A new research study from the Online Publishers Association, conducted by comScore, sheds some new light on the impact of online branding
