Why We Hate Advertising.

Copyright © Abdulla Faraz, 2012 // abdulla.faraz@gmail.com // @n3m6 // +Abdulla Faraz

Have you ever seen an online ad that inspired you?

Never.

Every year hundreds of gorgeous, creative, inspiring, enriching, entertaining and heartbreaking ads are made.

None of it makes it online.

Ever seen anything like this online?

… or this?

Never.

Contrary to popular belief,

We Love Advertising.

Just ask any Vogue reader.

But, we hate

online advertising.

Haiku?

Our eyes are jumping hoops to avoid all the noise on the page.

Ads that obstruct content.

Distracting video ads that play while you are trying to read.

Single ad per page. Too small for expressive ads & little value for advertisers.

Ads, no longer make any sense for 7% of your web site visitors.Comscore (November 2011): The Rise of Digital Omnivores – 6.8% of US traffic comes from a non-computer device

For years, we have worked to restrict ad size, because we thought people hated advertising, while increasing the number of ad slots for revenue.

The result.

A wall of junk.

A vicious cycle of ad hating resulting in more online junk.

We demand a beautiful web!

Why should we change the web?

Publishers need advertising revenue.

Creatives require space to design creative and inspiring ads.

2 :

Advertisers are willing to pay more for more space.

How do we change the web?

Simple. Change this …
