Easy Money - no work! Hot singles - trust me! Lose weight & eat all you want! F.ree ringtones! Win an iPod! Free screensavers - NO spyware! Tons of dishonest banners that hurt our industry are just a click away, unfortunately.
Before I get on to the Friday Funnies, let me just do one little rant. Many affiliates will push whatever offer pays the most.
Don't be THAT affiliate! When you select offers and banners, put yourself in the CONsumers shoes and ask 1st if you would even click that ad and 2nd if you would feel CONned when you found out the truth about the promotion. Shady offers and dishonest ads are bad for the industry and Joe surfer is tired of seeing them.
Market with integrity and everyone wins!
OK TIME FOR SOME FRIDAY FUN! (I haven't done a Friday Funny for a long time)
What would banners look like in a world where all ads were required to tell the honest truth? Cracked.com offered a prize to whoever has the Photoshop skills to show what Banner ads that don't lie would look like.
Funny stuff!
Check out all the contest entries for a good laugh. I actually think some of the runners up are funnier than the winner, but maybe I have a warped sense of humor. ;-)
If Banner Ads Were Forced To Be Truthful
I like the dancing guy mortgage ad, (just hate that the dancing girl in the real ad it's spoofing)
the talk to hot girls ad, borrow $40 ad and the loose 2 lbs ad.
WHICH ONES DO YOU LIKE BEST?
Happy Friday!
