When Online Advertisers Cross the Line
By Hari Anil, SiliconIndia
Email Ads
The first things that I do when I open my email are select and delete all the promotions and ads that I have received, and this is true with majority of email users. Despite this, most of the advertisers still employ this method. The award for the 'best - driving us absolutely bananas' advertisement goes to the aggressive email marketers who deploy the full screen banner method. You open the mail and suddenly an advertisement banner fills your whole screen and at times without a close button, you will have to wait till it times out. They are successful in making the viewers feel like killing someone.
