One more thing to avoid is the system error and spyware infection ads. These ads will confuse many visitors and make them go away. These ads pop-up in your face with a message like “your computer is infected with spyware – click here for a free scan”. These ads don’t know anything about the user’s computer; they are just trying to trick them into purchasing an inferior product.
As webmasters we all want to monetize our sites to their fullest potential. However, some ads do more damage to your sites image than anything else. Furthermore, even though some of these tactics may work for the short term, I really doubt that they are here to last as more and more internet users become aware of the latest marketing ploys.
