Advertise for an outsider?

As the ad words trend grows so does the complexity of internet advertising. Advertising on the web seems more difficult then perceived. Many people tell you they have the solution, but really they don't. Trends change so fast it's hard to tell what will work. Remember the pop up? Ya it's still around annoying people but pop up blockers have reduced it significantly. Then came the flash ads that don't pup up but cover your page. There are blockers for those but those annoying ads are controlled by javascript and css hard hard to block.

I have been creating web sites and programming for over 10 years. Back in the day when the web was new and fresh there was hardly any advertising because there wasn't a need and a profit in it. You just had basic images and blinking text. Kind of like a cheap hotel in downtown anywhere. Now you have the flashy or annoying ads that sell anything. That leased me to advertising on e-commerce sites.

I mean what the hell?

You don't go into Target and see add words flashing in your face for Walmart. I'm not saying their prospective sites do that either. But I am saying small crappy so called sites that advertise like crazy for other sites tells me they can't sell their product so they have to make money by advertising. Why buy from these hacks? Why buy from a site that tries to pop up an ad? Buy from someone more reputable and less of a hack.

Who knows what the future of the internet will hold, if someone knew the same person would be getting the cash every time, but that's not the case.
