Have you
noticed the increasingly high amount of ads we can find on the Internet? That
ads have gained power on the Internet is no surprise for us, avid users of this
technology. They are all over the websites, offering products and services,
which sometimes are worth checking and nice to look at.
However, browsing
the Internet gets too tiring when ads pop up out of nowhere with just a click
on any part of the web page. Many websites that were ads-free in the past are
now allowing pop-ups to appear, such is the case of the well-known torrent site
The Pirate Bay. Even important and serious websites like Forbes permits ads to
appear when clicking an article, and even though there are no pop-ups, you have
to wait roughly twenty seconds or click “continue” to access the web page.
Such
advertisements are necessary and I am in favor of them; in the end, it is the
only way a website can earn money and subsist. But, such abuse of pop-ups and
ads is immoderate, and I believe a website can be online eternally with banners
at the head, bottom, and sides of the web pages.
Finally, it
does not matter how a website is filled with advertisement, as long as they
have imaginative and colorful designs. The problem comes when our browsers are
interrupted by pop-ups and unwanted web pages. Have you noticed this
phenomenon? Does it stop you from browsing the Internet? What do you do to
avoid it?
Try
clicking on the websites mentioned above, and see for yourself what I was
putting forward in this entry. Also, in this webpage you can get to know the types
of pop-ups under a website designer point of view.
Well, I do not want be nice of you and say that I do agree with this information, just because. The thing here is that, I share the same opinion when you expressed that you can get very tired after looking at the screen millions of ads that prevent of appreciating -sometimes- the information you need to find in a particular moment. Unfortunately, this is the only alternative we have to get access to certain pages we want to get at, otherwise we would need to pay for every site we visit to, and that would be a serious problem for everyone interested in using technology, as a way of getting communicated and informed, at the same time . Internet would become more expensive and the accessibility would decrease unimaginably.
ReplyDeleteOf course, this matter of being invaded by pop-ups does not stop me from browsing the internet. It is inevitable, and the only thing I do is closing like desperate each window that prevents me to read or watch what I look for. I know if we visit some of those links we help to maintain the site we like, but sometimes they are too much I cannot stand them!
