Talking about AJAX and advertising, found http://www.homepage4.com on a news site yesterday. Interesting concept about advertising, equality (democracy) and search engines. What is very exciting is the use of space in the adverts that have audio / video clips. It is a bit like living in a one room house – you want to cook, you press a botton and out comes the kitchen.

If it catches on, it will at least give everyone a chance and make pay per click a bit cheaper.

This has always been the case with new technologies. At first, people complain about it, but later on, creativity strikes and we see lots of new methods and “tricks” to achieve what’s needed. If everything was made easy, creativity wouldn’t be noticed. Fun exists in tough challenges, and how to achieve this. I’m a computer programmer, and I get bored when doing simple programs. However, when I face tough challenges that don’t make me sleep, I can be seen smiling and I feel very happy when I beat the problem, in a creative way. Think of the opportunites Ajax can bring to the advertisising world, where new user interaction with the product is more real, not just a static image or text! The old methods have to go, and the new methods will bring more power to everyone, be it a user or a developer or a producer. New technologies are almost always accompanied with changes…

I think that this post raises a few very important concerns. I did notice that the affiliate network Commission Junction has switched their link types to a java format. Is it possible that we see a switch to ajax enabled links for enhanced security?

So what I heard was if you’re revenue stream is tied to advertising you should think about that in your app when using AJAX.

Sounds like a great place for RJS:

page.replace_html ‘we-love-advertising’, partial => ‘next_paying_customer’
page.replace_html ‘we-like-users’, partial => ‘for_the_freeloading_users’

What’s the big deal?

The web should not bend to advertiser interests. We should not be designing out sites to get out an advertiser’s message, we should be designing for the users.

[...] With the affiliate marketing hot topic being CJ's mandatory java linking, what about the obverse… what role would (or will) Ajax links have in the network-to-publisher/affiliate relationship? [...]

Maybe they could print out code that switches the add every x seconds, with a short link to the previous one if people wanted to click on that one. That way you solved the problem ;)
