I have an older sister that is almost a compulsive impulse purchaser...and I'm sure there are thousands more like her...so maybe those ads are targeted at individuals like her that will visit the blog and end up buying two or three things before they leave? For myself, I don't like the visual clutter...my REAL world is busy enough without having to sift and sort through my VIRTUAL one...;0)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and come back any time!Think Positive, Be Positivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981805086599633473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-50358512231892943132012-05-10T07:39:56.943-04:002012-05-10T07:39:56.943-04:00Good advice and tips, Donna!

So I leave well alone .. hence one very plain blog.<br /><br />So much is changing in the Google world .. and making money on the internet is not at all easy .. <br /><br />I think there's a fourth group .. ie the people in the Challenge - aspiring authors, poets, artists, writers of inspiring ideas .. etc .. <br /><br />But if a blog irritates me I'm off!!

I even have a draft of it. I visit those blogs with the ads. I find it intrusive and distracting. It makes me not want to stay on the page to read anything. So I wonder, how effective are these ads? Do people actually click and make those site purchases? Another one for the "things to think on" corner, Donna. Another good read!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391527903431779238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-66741270109157715352012-05-09T23:27:39.038-04:002012-05-09T23:27:39.038-04:00Hi Susan!

I think the ads make the blog page too busy and can actually detract from the blog post...unless of course the intent is NOT to reach out to the readers but to tempt them to spend money and then I guess they are doing a good job. Thank you for your kind words...I like the pictures too...;0)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and come back any time!Donna L Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553676457762998807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-47539226667106508502012-05-09T23:03:20.967-04:002012-05-09T23:03:20.967-04:00I couldn't agree more.

Some of the blogs I visit do have ads, and even though I don't necessarily think less of the bloggers for going that route, it definitely isn't the path for me. Dunno where you got that picture of the candy bar look-alike, but it sure scores your point.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.com
