Rachel has an interesting post on Advertising on blogs where she compares how much advertising takes up on TV, in the Newspapers and on a pretty well known blog:
‘While online ads are on the increase, are we being bombarded by online ads like we are offline?
I had a look at what TV would look like if it were a computer screen. How much of the screen would be covered in advertisements? I then had a look at our local newspaper’s first section last Saturday. If it were a computer screen, how much would be plastered in advertisements? Finally, I had a look at Engadget, a blog renouned for its revenue made via advertising. How much of the screen* was taken up by advertisements?’
Interesting comparisons.
