    If you are a reader of John Chow you might have seen that he has inplented a new adspot on his blog. A little bar on top of the site with a text-link. Just days (even hours) after he put this ad spot up a lot of other bloggers started serving this type of advertising.

    The thing is, even if you scroll down the bar will follow down, and staying on top all the time. I’m unsure of the CTR of this placement, but it does not take up much space and it could mean easy money for you. (John Chow charges $250 per month and got 5 rotating!)

    It might make you some more money, but in my opinion it is not worth it. Am I the only one who finds those bars annoying? I think it would put off visitors.

    I agree, they might make good money but annoying is an understatement.

    Apart from annoying, I guess that feature, which might be activated via a javascript, has slow down the load time of John's blog. Do you guys notice about this?

    yeah, it is a bit slower, and the bar is ugly!
