Weekly Roundup: The Problem With Ads
January 14, 2010 by Frugal Dad
grown tired of the advertising here at Frugal Dad. I don’t mind the context ads so much because they generally match the content on each page. However, the CPM banner networks (banner ads) often have no relevance to the content here. Frankly, I’m tired of visiting my site and seeing ads for yellow teeth and flat bellies. You probably feel the same way.When we were in debt, I felt like I couldn’t afford to be overly selective. Every single penny I earned through FD went towards debt. Now, I have the luxury of being a bit choosy. So last night I decided to take down those annoying banners and replace with more relevant products I’m familiar with. Eventually, I plan to develop a few products of my own to offer.
On that note, if you are in position to start a new CPM network with only advertisers related to personal finance, it could be very successful!
