Poster note : one site that has this type of ad enabled and working very well for them ( i assume) is www.rediff.com, it's a normal portal and i am NOT associated with that portal. i said wow because ,this is a step in right direction, as you all know people are getting adblind. this types of ads force users to see, which in turn mean very high ctr which in turn mean good icome for us i know it form my experience on rediff, it basically forces me to see the ad! and when i " see" the ad, i sometimes get interested and that sometimes is all they need!!
I'm looking forward to seeing how these ads perform on my sites. It's good to see new stuff coming down the pipe from AdSense... for all those out there suffering from reduced earnings over the last few months, keep a positive attitude and just keep plugging away at your sites. All the effort you put in today will pay off in coming months.
I think its great that it will only expand when it gets clicked, thats one peeve I have about adbrite is when the add pops up just by going over it. Really considering a move to adsense now.
This is still at the testing stage. Hopefully they will roll out the feature soon so that I can test it out.
Hope this will make publisher more flexible to chose format, and hope this one will increase earning. alexjo
This new type of CPC ads means that the visitor needs to click twice for you to get credited. Well, I am not sure I liked it that much. I would love to see an option to "exclude" these types of ads from my ads being served on my site. Lets see.
well i think you are missing the whole point, have you read it fully? see teh site www.rediff.com see how they use this tactic to get the attention of the user. which means a very high CTR! that too without a fraud! but one difference being the ads load tehmselves, adn then gobackto original size, for 2 seconds they have user's complete attention...
I personally hate these kind of ads. Though the earnings will be more but the users loyalty will be less. It messes with the navigation of the site.
