Adverts

Nuffnang just like many other web advertising companies uses a few layers of JavaScript to send out advertisements to the web browser.  Also just like these other companies, one can “preprocess” the JavaScript before it is added to your page. By modifying the JavaScript before it gets displayed in your site / blog you can customize [...]

Sprint has spent $100 million on an advertising campaign which directly targets the iPhone's weaknesses. The two ads we've seen are aimed at the iPhone's slow EDGE speeds and lack of true GPS support. The ads will begin running on May 9th and cost Sprint almost 40x the amount of a single 30 second superbowl ad. Ads following after the jump!Now here's the thing about these two ads, slow data speeds and faux GPS are undoubtedly going to be addressed by the next rev of the iPhone. Honestly, we're not sure if we should laugh at Samsung, or feel sorry for them. Granted, Apple hasn't officially given any word on new iPhones, but with all the speculation lately, you'd think Sprint would wait and see what Apple has up their sleeves.There's no doubt that these ads will negatively influence some who

After running this for 9 days, I think I am being extremely kind in saying that they definitely need more time to get this running smoothly.It took me 15 minutes to get into my 'Member Program Statistics' today - and it told me that I had 20 'impressions' so far and zero commissions.mmmm... By my calculations - I should have had at least 90,000 impressions...So I have removed the code form my site for the time being, and will maybe re-evaluate it again in a month or two!Irish Wallpaper / Photos / Desktop BackgroundsIrish Myspace Layouts / Backgrounds / CodesIreland screensavers

To contrast an article from our own Alex Thurston, here are two adverts near my spot in Brooklyn that cry out for comment. #1 Apparently the marketing department at the GMHC (the Gay Men's Health Crisis) misinterpreted the organization's role in the community, thinking their objective was condescension to both the gay and black community. #2 Remember when Champion was about boxing, football, volleyball, any any other sort of athletic endeavor? No longer. Now, apparently, it's about seduction and/or sitting at home and masturbating. to be continued…

Whether you have something to sell, a service to offer, or you just want to give something away, classified ads are a great way to accomplish that. A classified ad is defined as being a type of advertising that is especially common in newspapers or other periodicals. However, the classified ad is now taking the internet by storm. It has become an effective way of advertising virtually anything and it doesn't have to cost a penny. There is no more having to "pay per line" or "pay per word" when listing classified ads, especially online ads where you can advertise free of charge. There is no need to pay when you are able to place free ads and get just as much, if not more, exposure as if you placed an ad in the car classifieds, pet classifieds, or property cla

By Werner Dohse Sony has always been one that pushes the envelope when it comes to their advertising, and they’ve once again commissioned some excellent adverts.The adverts were done by BBDO Chile, and advertising agency situated in Chile.

Yes, we’re back with a third and final TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday Competition! After the success of the first two competitions I thought it was only fair to see TWA’s first anniversary month out with a bang. So here it is. As always, we’ll start with the prizes.

Sorry for the delay in this result but I’ve been otherwise engaged pebble dashing the inside of our toilet for the past 2 days. But without further ado - and as I know you have probably all chewed your finger nails off up to the arm pit in anticipation - I’ll let you know the winner [...]

Sketchplanet now has adverts - Yay Adverts! Oh, not impressed? Oops! Advertising helps to pay for our server and also fund future developments with the site. That said, the adverts aren’t too bad. They contain Sketch/Drawing related content and all Groups and Tags pages have relevant advertising. Let me know what you think!

Regulars might have noticed a few changes on TWA over the past couple of weeks and, come the end of the month, there’ll be a few more as well… ooh, mysterious. Anyways, just to let you know that I have add a new section called “Just The Adverts” where you can view - wait for it [...]

It was a year ago today that this madness began and as promised here is the second most exciting day of my TWA life - it’s the TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday Competition Number 2. Note to reader: I’m using the phrase “Number 2″ there to mean “second” and not in the “chocolate soldier” sense. Although [...]

In an attempt to save the beleaguered astronomy community in the UK, astronomers have come up with an intriguing idea, “the first ad broadcasting to aliens” The project, in which the public are invited to shoot a 30 second advert, underlines the current crisis in funding astronomy, due to an £80 million shortfall. The British astronomers [...]

Just a quick announcement to say that on Tuesday 11th March the second TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday competition will begin. I’m not going to reveal the specifics of the competition, I’m just going to build it up as if it’s very exciting only to leave you really disappointed when you find out what it actually [...]

It looks like the malware guys are indeed getting more tricky, and this time it has an effect on multiple parties. It deprives Google of the impressions from the adverts and potentially can infect surfers with some nasty malware. Again it’s using the hosts file, redirecting Google’s own ads to those from a nefarious source. security company has identified a Trojan horse program that replaces

The Engine Room isn't the only site to suffer from inappropriate context-sensitive adverts.The magazine I work for has a sister website and today our web editor was complaining that, due to its ongoing coverage of the London Low Emission Zone (or LEZ – and I know you know where this is going), it has been displaying adverts for lesbian dating services. Among other things...

Update The very speedy Gina has won this competition a mere 45 minutes after I posted it. So well done to Gina. There’ll be another competition in a couple of weeks time (one that should run for a bit longer) so don’t worry you can still be in with a chance to win random crap too… TV’s Worst Adverts [...]

I had a flyer through my door this morning, low-quality and poorly produced, and using such choice quotes as SAVE £1,000’s ON ESTATE AGENTS FEES OK, I can’t bring myself to type the rest of this in the CAPITALS that it used, nor am I willing to abuse the innocent apostrophe in the way it did, so I’ll stop complaining about the poor production, and look at what it says. Basically, the flyer was advertising a website - they would put an “extensive” description of your property on their website, including up to 12 photos, for £99. All well and good, but they then go on to talk about the Office of Fair Trading, and make the point that you can supposedly avoid paying an estate agency fee if you introduce a buyer directly, even if you have a contract with an estate agency. I am not a lawyer, but something felt odd about this claim, so I took the advice of some local estate agents on their understanding. The view they had (and of course, they are estate agent

Adobe is one of the world's leading PDF software producers Yahoo has reached a deal to start running advertisements in Adobe's popular PDF document-reading format. The service will allow publishers to make money by including adverts linked to the content of a PDF document in a panel at the side of the page. It is Yahoo's latest way of expanding the places it can advertise online following deals with the auction site Ebay and the cable TV group Comcast. The advertisements will not appear if the PDF document is printed. It is the first time that Adobe has allowed dynamic adverts into its PDF (Portable Document Format) files. Dynamic adverts can be changed for particular audiences or rotated to make sure that a particular user never sees the same advertisement twice. PDF files can be created by a range of software

The image above was taken from the index page of my web site on 27th October 2007.Some people might say that this was Google being a little bit two faced, after them penalizing people who have not made it 100% obvious that links on their site were 'paid' links (but not me as I make most of my money from Adsense ! :-)Irish Wallpaper / Photos / Desktop BackgroundsIrish Myspace Layouts / Backgrounds / CodesIreland screensavers

So, as I mentioned a few weeks ago I’ve been working on a new theme for TVs Worst Adverts and here it is. I wanted something a little cleaner and bit more focused on the content, so I hope I’ve achieved that. If you’ve got any comments or if you notice any problems with the new theme, please drop me a line below. Cheers, Silky.

Is your worst nightmare walking in to a shop being bombarded with questions, having to try out clothes with someone breathing down your neck and telling you how well that colour suits you? Would you like a “personal shopper” without actually having to speak to a real person? Well, if so, this is for you. A [...]

There have never been so many options available for the recruitment consultant looking to advertise vacancies. Internet sites can be many times cheaper than paper adverts. In addition they can be far more effective, producing many more potential fee earning candidates.There are, however, some differences in how adverts should be written. A candidate viewing adverts on the internet can raise 100s of matching vacancies within seconds of applying a couple of filters on a site. This, versus the relatively slow plod rustling through the pages of a newspaper. To achieve a strong response on the internet a recruitment consultant needs to do more to differentiate his job.Unfortunately, the task of generate an advert is one of the less enjoyable parts opf the recruitment consultant’s role. As a consequence, adverts can have a tendency to all look the same. Consider the following example.Recruitment ConsultantOur client requires a graduate with two years recruitment experience. You will have A

In an unprecedented move on the part of a Nintendo distributor, an advert has been showing recently on various DSTV channels in South Africa. It looks like an adapted UK 30 second TV spot, but the very fact that it's on means we have already seen more marketing for the Wii than the GBA, DS and GameCube combined.The Wii launches on the 30th of September in South Africa.

Google has launched next-generation online adverts that provide feedback based on user response. Gadget Ads are miniature applications that combine interactive Web 2.0 style features with traditional advertising content, encouraging internet users to engage with the advert via built-in tools and services.

We’ve heard that many publishers are having trouble viewing referral 2.0 ads on their pages, and we’d like to explain some of the most common reasons why this might be. First, keep in mind that not all referral ads are available in all sizes. For instance, most horizontal referral ad units smaller than 180×60, square referral ad units smaller than 125×125, and text links are only available at this time for Google products such as AdSense or AdWords. This means that if you generate code for referral ads in an unsupported size, you won’t see any referrals shown on your webpages. To avoid this issue, we recommend first selecting categories or products for your referrals before selecting a size at this time. Similarly, you may not see the referral ads you’ve selected on your pages if you’ve grouped a number of referral ads into your Ad Shopping Cart which are each available in different sizes. If this is the case, you may wish to try regenerating

 Google Adsense offers advertisers and publishers both text and graphical adverts. When people choose to place Adsense on their websites, which adverts format is the best for advertisers and which is the best for publishers? On one hand, image adverts seems to be more responsive yet less likely to stimulate a sale. On the other hand, text adverts may convert more, whilst being less visible to the consumers. Text based adverts are considered less intrusive than the other one. However, does it mean that graphical advertising is better? Consumers are used to graphical advertising from signing up free email accounts and other web based services. Very often, the adverts are not consumers-targeted. That’s why they also get used to ignoring graphical adverts with the assumption that all are the same. Text adverts are not forced upon surfers. Because they are less obvious, some people will not see them at all. However, those who do see them, and read them are significantly more likely t

I said in a previous post that it was not the end of the world if you accidentally clicked on an Adsense advert on your own site.I have since found an official Google post on the subject:-http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/05/accidents-happen.html

Warning: Division by zero in /home/clickmed/public_html/interactivehealth/wp-content/plugins/tla_62744.php on line 595 This doesn’t really surprise me. Apparently researches from the University of Liverpool studied the link between food ads and food intake of overweight and obese children. It found that after watching an ad, kids in both categories increased their food intake by 134 percent. The study involved 60 children between the ages of 9 and 11 of varying weights. They were shown ads for food and toys and all the kids in those weight categories ate more after seeing food ads. Overweight kids ate 101 percent more and those in the normal weight range at 84 percent more. I’m not sure what can be done about that. You can’t take tv away from kids, there would probably be mass riots! Maybe try and buy less treats to limit their intake. Growing up, we didn’t have candy, lollies or any treats in the house. If we got hungry, our options were either fruit,

Am I the only one that is annoyed by these stupid adverts on a daily basis? How do I see it? A waste of a good lunch! It's not cool, it's not hip, it doesn't encourage debate, it's crap and that's all I have to say on the matter... Oh yeh and those AOL "Discuss" adverts are a pain in the arse as well!!

Currently AnonymousCoworker has a post up about annoying adverts. Well I know of plenty of annoying adverts, but decided to be positive today, after all, it's Friday, and I get to go home soon! I'm sure this post's evil twin will rear it's malformed head soon enough.So here's a bunch of adverts which are either clever, funny or just bring a smile to my face:1. Jon West Tuna - Bear Fight2. VW Polo - Viral Ad, Small but tough3. Lynx - Billions of Girls | Perfect Girlfriends | Touch4. Guinness - The Surfer | Racing Snails | Evolution5. Honda - Balance | The Choir | Power of Dreams | Hate DieselThere were two more Guinness ads I really liked, but I couldn't find them; one was the actual snail racing advert, and the other was where a guy is swimming in a race against the perfect pint.Another one I didn't include in my list, but remembered afterwards is Reebok's Terry Tate: Office Linebacker ad, which is a piece of genius rolled in amusing violence and lovingly delivered to you on a

This morning I logged into Adwords like normal and I noticed a lack of impressions / clicks so I started to sniff around wondering WTF is up… It seems that they have finally twigged that my display URL is not going where it says it is, so all of my ads are sitting in “disapproved” status, fair cop I guess but sheer laziness on my part. I guess I need to actually do a bit of work now. My plan is to create a landing page on my domain and set a redirect to the merchant, I thought I had read this somewhere, does anyone know if this is allowed? If anyone knows of a better way around all this please let me know?

A quick roundup of the 6 Apple 2006 PC vs Mac adverts. Even if you're a PC fan, it's hard to resist liking these adverts.Speaking of PCs, I'm getting a new one for my Birthday. Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS, 2GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Due E6600, Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, Office 2007, and a whole lot more... Weighs in at $3500!

If I have to see one more DStv advert thrown in to the middle of a show/song/programme that I am watching I am going to throw something through my television set. I swear it. Could someone from multichoice please explain to me why there is this obsessive need to destroy their subscribers programming with meaningless, mindless, irrelevant and badly timed adverts?
