GeraldH Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 ...or is an accidental mouse over the Autodesk add fairly annoying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I was going to comment on that very thing, but the rediculous mold count has been giving me a daily afternoon headache. I figured I'd try to ignore the Autodesk ad for at least one more day. Any ideas how much longer it'll grace us with its pop-up? I mean, are they paying extra for added realestate with mouse overs?

GeraldH Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey Eric, Usually people in my area move to your area in order to avoid that type thing. I'm about 100 miles east of you in Tyler. When my wife drags me to Dallas it's usually to the Frisco area...go figure. Next time we plan a trip (won't be too long) I'll give a shout, maybe we could hook up for a meal...and a brew 'r two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted February 16, 2005 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2005 This was an experiment in a new ad serving technology. I am very interested to hear what everyone thinks of these ads. From a marketing standpoint they have been one of the most successful ads that we have ever had on the site. They did originally want pop-up, pop-under ads which I would not accept. I thought this was a novel half way point and actually thought it was kind of a cool ad. What does everyone else think? Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Once I figured out to close the window and avoid it with the mouse, I like it now- will never forget it either....... been 'market branded' into the brain , for life. I agree it's a good ad WDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Honestly, it's annoying. We're busy people who try to stay focused. To have something unwanted drop down right in front of what I'm trying to read is irritating. I'm not sure what demographic responds favorably to such an approach, but I'm not in that group.

Ernest Burden III Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I actually do not know what you are talking about. Which ad is that? I just refreshed the page a dozen or more times, I never see an ad that pops up, jumps out, or anything else with getting out of its framed area. I'm using FireFox...could that be why?

jackb602 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yep, no intrusive ads here. I'm using Safari with popup blocking enabled. Sounds annoying though. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Well, I was seeing the ad just about every time I visited the site, with the annoying pop-down. However, once I clicked the "close" button on the flash advertisement, I don't seem to have ever seen it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I like the Ad itself, but the pop-down portion of it is quite annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisHolland Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I would like to give some advertisers philosophy on this issue guys, Yes... I like the ad, I do think it's annoying. Also, I do think it should be because that's the purpose of this marketingtrick. From an advertisers point of view? it's a great ad and an equal level of effectivity. As Jeff stated From a marketing standpoint they have been one of the most successful ads that we have ever had on the site exactely that is what an ad should generate;...marketing, feedback > profit. Some minor 'annoyance-effect' is just one of the tools and this thread is the ultimate proof of concept for a successfull piece of advertising and yes...probably as all others who are captured by this ad, I surfed the exhibition of images and liked what I saw...that is core for Autodesk. I agree, it's a damn annoying ad...(but it does his job very well) Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
