An Annoying New Trend in Web Marketing
Have you noticed?
Lately, on many websites, you can’t go and read an entire article on one page.
You get a teaser to get you interested in what they’re going to say, and then have to click forward, sometimes as many as 8 or 9 times, to get the entire article.
I suppose the point of this exercise is to expose you to the dozens of affiliate marketing ads / Google ads that flank each section of the article, but I find it annoying. In fact, I end up not reading things I might have found interesting.
Having a satellite internet connection means waiting between pages, and I don’t want to take that much time for casual reading.
How about you? Do you like this new trend, or are you skipping the articles (and their accompanying ads) just like I am?
