I am not a fan of online advertising. Only because I find it extremely annoying when I'm trying to get work done, and my desktop is flooded with pop ups advertising for homeowner's insurance and travel coupons.

Even though I am not a fan, I understand the economic advantages to online advertising. Advertisers can deliver information immediately, and the content of the information is not restricted to time nor space. Also, online advertisements offer a myriad of features. Advertiser's can link several different pages to an online ad, they can connect their ads to popular social networks, and consumers can instantly interact with the advertiser.

Advertisements that really peeve me - Email ads, Facebook ads, the ads that pop up before you try to watch a video on YouTube or Hulu. While these all may be necessary for websites to be successful, I'd rather do without them.
