It's very true. The overall look of a site will cause the ads to either compliment or clash with the page. By the way, both of your websites do have nice templates and work well with both your content as well as the ads. Hi Jim, I appreciate your comment. It’s very true.

]]> Comment on Less Ads, Now how about the Theme? by Jim Galiano http://seinternetmarketing.com/2009/less-ads-now-how-about-the-theme/#comment-3110 Jim Galiano Fri, 29 Jan 2010 04:03:18 +0000 http://seinternetmarketing.com/?p=119#comment-3110 I think the colors of the ads and not necessarily the ads themselves are to blame for distracting a reader from the post/article. I didn't see your ads, but I run several online magazines (TheBoxingMagazine.com, FlavorsAndMore.com - to name two) and I have the right side set up to have 4 small ads and then one big one (the size of 4 smaller ones put together) over them. I actually sell the space, so it's necessary with my business model to have the ads there. It seems to work on some sites and not on others. I think it's the overall look that either cause the ads to compliment the page or clash with it. The competition and sheer volume of ads online can be overwhelming at times. As an advertiser/marketer and a consumer, I see both sides. If I enjoy going to the sites, eventually I "see" the ads. If I'm just surfing, I'm blind to just about everything other than the information I'm looking for. Sorry to ramble on!

(more competition more risk to narcs) In your comment, your mention that doorway pages are not considered blackhat. I would have to disagree. Googles Words on Doorway Pages: "Whether deployed across many domains or established within one domain, doorway pages tend to frustrate users, and are in violation of our webmaster guidelines. Google's aim is to give our users the most valuable and relevant search results. Therefore, we frown on practices that are designed to manipulate search engines and deceive users by directing them to sites other than the ones they selected, and that provide content solely for the benefit of search engines. Google may take action on doorway sites and other sites making use of these deceptive practice, including removing these sites from the Google index.

A Front Door Page is NOT a black hat method of stealing traffic. Front Door Pages are a focal point for a business niche, in a specific locale. For example, I have a Front Door Page for a local music store that I am promoting in the search engines. The poor guy's website itself was in Google's "Witness Protection Program" -- no matter which keywords you searched for that could have brought him some traffic, he remained invisible! Do a Google search for "used guitars Scranton" and you'll see both a blog post and the Front Door Page for this business at the top of the search results. Notice that there are no "sneaky" redirects or other questionable practices to put these pages in peril of getting de-indexed by Google. Instead, these pages have all the SEO and backlinking support that I learned doing Direct Response Internet Marketing for my own products and services. While these Front Door Pages are specifically made for local businesses, the underlying SEO and backlinking methods they employ also work regionally and internationally. That's because they are based on sound, ethical SEO. I found this explanation of a doorway page while searching for my own type of “Front Door” page.
