This Headline Is Not for Sale

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nickel-for-the dept.

r.jimenezz writes "Adam Penenberg's latest article on Wired News discusses the growing trend of inserting ads more directly into online content, as publishers strive to keep readers clicking and to stretch advertising dollars, most of which go to a few big companies. He mentions the example of Vibrant Media, which links 'certain words in an article' directly to ads, and has been covered before on Slashdot, as have Penenberg's previous articles."

    So, you're telling me that the webmaster should have 50,000 Page views, but only 1,000 Banner Ad views - and therefore not get paid to provide you with the shit you read?

    You are a fucking asstard then - and I know why you post AC. Let me guess you never purchase anything that is advertised - because you can't afford it? What do you do live in a cave with a stolen laptop and wi-fi - how else do bastards like you that can't even allow a graphic to disturb there little shell of a world?
