In the current digital age It is difficult to avoid being bombarded with ads while surfing the internet. This is because online advertising in Australia is growing at 9.3% per year and nearly A$3.7 billion. The number of pop-up windows and campaigns we encounter every day has increased. However, not all ads are useful or relevant to our interests. In fact, for many it can be distracting.
Not relevant and may be dangerous Fears that technological advancements and clear data collection will lead to a superior net experience for users appear to have come to fruition. But it seems that online advertising is distorting the internet experience for many people. So what is driving this trend? And is there a solution? People are more likely to engage with online ads when they are tailored and tailored to their personal interests. On the other hand, unrelated, mass-targeted ads can be frustrating and even repellent.
User leaves the website A new study finds that nearly a third of Facebook ads are unrelated. This is despite the fact that the platform has a complex user profile system. Another problem is personnel intrusion. Personalized advertising may be considered inappropriate advertising. This is especially true when ads delve into sensitive topics or reveal personal information. However, this can be reduced by respecting the personality of consumers. and offer users the option to choose whether or not to accept targeted advertising. The main reason for the increase in non-relevant ads is the automation of advertising on the web.
For example, in the United States, 90% of banner ads Pop-up window And digital display advertising is automated. These ads are called programmatic advertising. Place it on websites and social media without human intervention. Total spending on these ads increased from US$4.99 billion in 2013 to US$156.8 billion.This high prevalence of programmatic advertising occurs online as there are no legal restrictions on the number of adverts people are exposed to. This is very different to traditional media such as television.Some users take back control from online ads by installing ad-blocker software. These can be free versions in the form of a browser extension, or more advanced versions with a subscription fee.
Some companies such as YouTube have made a business model out of making it possible for people to opt out of advertising. To achieve this state of bliss, you need to pay an annual subscription fee.
But for those of us who can’t or won’t opt out, companies can also find simple ways to make ads less annoying—and more effective for the advertisers.
For example, Google Chrome has stopped the use of auto-play video. This gives people more control over the advertising they do encounter online.
Another way to achieve this is by allowing users greater interactivity with advertisements. One example is carousel advertising, where you can scroll left and right when reading content. Interactive advertising increases one’s feelings of control and leads to greater engagement.
Creating engaging and relevant online advertising is more costly and takes longer to produce. But it’s likely to be more effective—and much less annoying.
