The Pros And Cons Of Native Adverts

Native advertising

Native advertising came about a few years ago as a way for advertisers to get around ad blocking software that is used my many people. With the increase use of services that block ads advertisers came up with a form of advertisement that is forced on consumers. Native ads are so interworked with the design and functionality of the page. (Dictionary.com) If you want to view the page it is often a requirement for a person to turn off the ad blocker software to be able to view the page.

Pros- pros to native advertising is it less intrusive than traditional ads. It flows seamlessly with the flow of the page so it is really difficult to detect. When I read this I thought about the Native ads on yahoo. I go to yahoo to find

I understand that advertising has to be there and it has been useful in the past when you are thinking about something and it conveniently shows up at the side of your screen. I have clicked on those ads many times. Native ads take the consumers free choice away. One of the articles state “they are an abuse of consumer’s good will” (http://adage.com/print/302476)

My personal opinion on the matter is they area not very ethical. I do not want to be tricked into going to a web site that could contain viruses or malware that can affect the functionality of my computer or worse, steal my personal information. I appreciate that they are attempting to make ads less intrusive. Experiencing the early days of the internet I remember web pages being crippled by pop up advertisements. Consumers should always have a choice in the way that consume ads. If an ad begins. I tried the ad blockers but too many of the web sites that I depend on daily require that the blockers to be turned off for the page to be able to function. I understand the need for advertisements, I know that the easily accessible information is because of the incomes from the ads. I just wish that there was a way to block out the bad ads and choose which of the good ones that you want to see. I would even give up the desire to choose if I could just be certain that the ads would not contain software that

I could tell that the revenue generated by the sell of ads was substantial and that the impact of those ads was world wide. In the report you could see the areas in the world that had a greater impact and as a business I can see how a report like this would be valuable to help use your ad budget wisely.

I personally do not mind ads on Facebook. They have them on the side and within my newsfeed. I have been exposed to a lot of people and products that I would not have had the chance to if it weren’t for the ads. My favorite part of the ads is that it is 100% my choice weather or not I click the ads or not. I appreciate that Facebook gave me the power back. I would like to think that they vet their ads a bit so maybe it would be safer to click on the ads that I see then if they popped up on a random site.

Facebook has something like a 100 million members and they span the globe and every demographic I would venture a guess that an ad on Facebook would likely have a wider reach than one on nightly cable

    Advertisements can be found all over the city no matter where you look. They can be presented by television commercials, print ads on billboards, Internet websites, and even the radio. The reasoning behind these ads is to persuade and argue why their product is more important than others. Sometimes these arguments can be used to persuade certain ideas that people think are right or wrong, and cause an argument socially, politically, or even religiously. Imagine this, it’s 1 a.m. and rearing to the end of the night with you and your friends.…

    Native advertising is the process of integrating products and brands into TV shows, websites, music and video games "in a seamless way, so it doesn't really look like an ad at all" (Torrance, 2014). There are many advantages to this new type of advertising and product placement. First, it does interrupt viewers like traditional TV advertising. Consumers have become very savvy at avoiding traditional advertising (Torrance, 2014) and do not like the interruption. If placed properly native advertising is natural and fits right in so consumers do not realize that are being targeted by sponsors.…

    For the past couple of years social media has exploded with advertising, people buying stuff online and getting the latest news. Social media has got a strong power regarding in what direction they want their users to go. If a user goes on eBay and types “Go Pro camera” and is just looking to buy a new camera, a couple of minutes later the user website will get a lot of ads on Facebook (Appendix 1) or other websites the user is visiting. This is trying to press the user to buy the camera, even if they just looked for it for a couple of minutes. This also happened to me, while gathering more information, I got more ads on buying a Go Pro (Appendix…

    We are being pushed to question ourselves. Should we keep the obscene amount of ads going in the U.S, and hope that we can inform the more easily influenced minds of our community not to blindy listen? Or should ban them so that we dont have to run into that problem in the first place? I think limiting ads targeting children is the answer. I understand that advertising does play an important role in our economy.…

    I believe whole-heartedly that advertising, especially when directed at children, is dangerous. The article first supplied, Protect Children from Targeted Advertising, closes their argument by stating that, not only is child advertising dangerous, it is unethical. The author supplies concrete evidence and facts. An example, The American Psychological Association (APA), as seen in paragraph two, reports that children under the age of eight years old do not understand that ads are meant to persuade. The fact that other countries, specifically the province of Quebec in Canada, have banned all forms of child ads.…

    The reason why I will be talking about ad blockers is because of the things they do to help people. When I am running ad blockers on my browsers, they tend to remove all of the advertisements from them. They remove all of the ads that YouTube videos show before watching the video. They remove all of the banners and signs that a website will show for different products that we don’t even need or want in our lives. They also tend to stop the pop-ups that might show when you go to a website and you don’t even want to see.…
