Ads are the new online tip jar (81)
on Seth's Blog (4470) permalink"I never click on ads." It's almost a badge of honor to say that. The subtext is, "I'm too smart/busy to waste my time doing that," or perhaps, "I don't want someone to sell my attention." But the real effect is that you're starving great content. I can say this because there are no ads here but, If you like what you're reading, click an ad to say thanks. Pretty simple, but not an accepted ...Shared by aaron (40) abhi (20) Adam (46) Adam Singer (78) adamkcarson (25) AJ (973) Alex (55) Alex Cristache (94) Amy Gahran (41) angol (255) Anoop Engineer (28) Antonio (44) Armando Alves (82) atul (547) Babychen Mathew (1082) Benjamin Shyong (36) Berkay (30) BIGODE (115) Bill (28) billspaced (111) Chandoo (210) Citizen K (42) D-Arb (32) David (193) Despil (21) Doctor Setebos (71) Dr. Ernie (163) DrBaher (74) Eban_C (114) Erik (37) exactaBob (19) fordchao (250) Fussypants (280) G$ (53) g9yuayon (64) Galtenbergs (73) Gauravonomics (248) havokinthemind (22) Heather (193) Jared (131) Jason (60) jeffreylandon (17) Jennifer (65) Jeroen Mirck (14) John Engler (12) John F (78) Jon Host (51) Jon Winstanley (41) Juan Fernando Zuluaga C.

- skeggsjp said: I like Seth's perspective on this.
- exactaBob said: That's an idea worth spreading.
- Riaz said: not convinced by this - both that it will happen and that it happening is a good thing. For it to be good, people would have to click through and pay attention to the website they arrive at so that conversions increase. Otherwise, marketers will still pay the same amount to the publisher for the higher click throughs.
- Lorraine said: Interesting concept, but is it fair to the advertiser if I have no interest in your product but click anyway to "tip" a good writer?
- Adam said: Wrong, wrong, WRONG. If you click on an ad with no real interest in the thing being sold, you devalue ad clicks on the site you were "thanking" with an ad click. That's much more harmful to the site than adopting a policy of never clicking on ads. Of course, I advocate a middle ground :) Click on stuff that catches your attention, ad or not.
- Mrs S said: Simple - but effective
- billspaced said: Glad Seth said it. I've been thinking it for a while now, and have even said it a few times before, but Godin's saying it carries clout!
- Eban_C said: Seth is the reason in the world of talking head echo chamber. He nails it more often than not.
- Stormy Shippy said: One of the few times I don't agree at all with Godin. You don't click on ads out of generosity.
- manda said: interesting idea, as long as it doesn't lead to more ads...
- Satyajeet said: This is exactly the problem with the models of online advertising though!
