Vast Majority Of Popup Click Throughs
Are Accidents 07/13/2004 10:30 PM
For years, anyone with a bit of common sense has known that pop-up ads were bad for business. They piss people off and studies have even shown that they're bad for business generating more negative feelings for the brand than positive responses. The problem, still, was that advertisers who used them still swore by them, pointing to the much higher clickthrough rates than other types of ads. Advertisers used this stat to prove that, for as much as popups pissed people off and brought them ill-will, they still "worked." Well, now it's time to disprove that as well. A new study has shown that approximately 90% of popup clickthroughs are accidental, caused by people trying to shut down the damn windows so they can get on with their surfing. This quote says it all: "Achieving an over-inflated click-through rate might help brands to justify their spend, but they are only deceiving themselves. The brand, which we used in our research study, is not only wasting up to 90% of its budget by paying for unintentional click-throughs, it is also frustrating and deceiving users."

5 cent download store comes to life!

5 cent download store comes to life! 03/30/2005 08:30 PM

A week ago, I blogged about the 5 cent download. Soon after, I heard from Tryad, a virtual band that spans the ocean from Japan to Ohio. They decided to open their own 5 cent download store, and also offer the service to other artists for free (as long as the bandwidth costs remain manageable).

So, if you want to sell you Creative Commons licensed music, drop them a line. If you want to support artists who go CC, go buy some music. Let's build some good content, and hopefully, a good market.

Thanks Tryad for taking this idea and running with it.

Mark Frauenfelder: I'm stopping at my local 99-cent store today. As reported in Cartoon Brew:

Rivaling Fleischer studios with their abstract rubber-hose animation style and hot jazz musical scores, the RKO Van Beuren Tom & Jerry cartoons (1931-1933) have become classics for their sheer surrealism. Currently in distribution at 99 Cents Only Stores is one of the greatest bargains I've ever seen: a dvd of nine Van Beuren TOM & JERRY cartoons! That's 11 cents per cartoon! And if that's not enough for you, it comes with a free 10 minute phone card inside the package!!

AP - The Postal Service filed a request Friday seeking a 2-cent increase in first-class mail. If the agency gets its way, there would be similar increases for other types of mail, and the higher rates would take effect early next year. The new pricing scheme would increase the rate for regular mail from 37 cents to 39 cents.
