Some users just love digital ads while others hate them. But in the end of the day, they will always be there. The key is: be sure that online visitors are having a great experience with the ads.
You probably have already heard someone saying that online ads are really annoying as well you have probably listened phrases like “I really like online ads, feel like they are reading my mind” or “Didn’t even know that I needed this item till I saw an online ad about it”.

The first example, the person who said that doesn’t like it at all was probably trying to read an article and some ads about a random product started to pop up right in his face. Imagine you are trying to read something about politics, or coronavirus when some ad selling pills to grow your hairs starts to show, it may be really frustrating.
On the other hand, the second one had that good experience because the metrics and the algorithms were well used, showing products ads that the user was really into. That’s why “feels like someone is reading my mind” is nothing but a truly well planned metrics.
According to, digitalmarketinginstitute.com: “95% of customers agree with the good user experience.”
