Thread pick: Usability of Ads.
What is the relationship between usability and advertising effectiveness?
Usability has user-friendly written all over it. Online ads are so rant-friendly that ISPs boost branding by offering free ad blockers.
Effective ads motivate and inform. Online ads also hang on click thrus. Click thrus, not end results, are the most commonly discussed benchmark. Results for destination sites are more connected with targeted traffic, branding and usability.
Hated, in-your-face, online ad techniques can increase click-thrus. Is irritation a necessary evil?
Could advertising results be better if user experience is respected?

I agree that POP-up ads are a nuisance. ESPECIALLY if someone has a slow internet connection.
