« RealTraffic Exchange Widget Gets Targeted Traffic Automated RSS Submission »
I added Peelaway Ads to quite a few of my blogs a couple of months ago to test them out and see how well the perform.
Today I’ve started removing them from all my blogs…
Over the test period of 2+ months the ads have resulted in exactly 2 sales, which is pretty poor considering the amount of traffic that the blogs they were on get in total, but that’s not actually the main reason for removing them.
I’ve had several emails that the peelaway would get “stuck” and not peel back, and it seems there’s also some incompatibility issues with the FireFox browser where the peel away ad can stop the “Recent Posts” and other links from working.
Not making many sales is something that I could potentially address with different product offers and new graphics to “catch the eye” of visitors, but causing problem for visitors to my blogs, resulting in them leaving the blog, is simply unacceptable, so I’m dumping them.
Making money from my blogs is obviously something that is important to me, but making a visit to one of my blogs an enjoyable/useful/informative experience for the visitor is at more important, otherwise there’s no one to buy any of my recommendations..

Hi Pradeep,
I’ve removed the peel away ads from my blogs because of problems they cause in firefox. I couldn’t find a way of fixing it and I’d rather not have them on the blogs than have visitors experience prblems because of them..
cheers,

do the peeler ads negatively effect traffic?
Hi Joseph,
I didn’tnotice any difference to traffic, positive or negative, but they did cause some problems for visitors using firefox, so I’ve removed them.
cheers,
