Pay Per Play Audio Ads are Not for Me

It seems that Pay Per Play Media is the latest advertising buzz on the Internet. I have been receiving many requests to join and I have been receiving information about it for months, and all the information is about the same. This advertising / money making opportunity is going to be huge.

I think that the biggest problem with this advertising is that most people will find it annoying.

If you are going to earn money from it, you will have to place a short code on your website. This code will make audio advertisements play for about 5 seconds immediately as they visit your website. They can’t turn it off, it just starts playing.

I have been subscribed to the Pay Per Play blog for sometime now, and they say that there are huge demand for their service and that there are many major corporations just waiting to play their audio ads on your website.

…and this is why so many bloggers especially have signed up and have implemented the code. It seems to be a very interesting way to earn money as a blogger. You don’t really have to do anything other than blog, and everytime someone visits your blog, you will earn cash because of the audio they have to listen to.

I did sign up when I first heard about Pay Per Play, but that was because it was free and I wanted to know more about it. Today, I have a different opinion.

Even though I enjoy new and creative ways to advertise and earn money online, I don’t enjoy ways that I find annoying as a website visitor myself. If I stumbled upon a website that started to play an audio advertisement as soon as I started looking at it, I would either turn off my speakers or just leave the website. I don’t think that I would like it at all, even though I haven’t actually heard any of the ads from Pay Per Play yet.

In a way, I don’t like automatic audio or video on the Internet at all. To me, it seems that the Internet is the only place where I can decide what to do without have things pushed at me, and a place not so filled with noise (if you know what I mean). Advertisements are popping up at both TV and the radio almost before I have the chance to watch or listen to whatever I was going to watch and listen to.

The Internet is different, let’s keep it that way. I am saying no to Pay Per Play.

Another interesting approach to Pay Per Play. What if you made a landing page and put the code on it, and then started using the landing page at traffic exchanges, would you still get paid or is this not allowed?
