1 tip to improve your website.

1. Less ads, I don't want to open the play store or have popups intruding my view while browsing on my phone. Site looks like a spam site.... I ignore those sites! Shame, as I wanted to read this, so its not a content issue!

caseh4123d ago

few sites like this cropping up recently, exactly same layout. The content is broken up by adverts that seem to shift every time you visit the page.

GameSpawn4123d ago

Not that it seems to do anything, but clicking the site name under the "Read Full Story" link lets you vote for the quality of the site and story. Avoiding the feature because it "never works" doesn't help it working - you need to use it first (it's better to try and it not work than not and it is actually being used, but no one is participating for it to work).

If you are on a desktop you can take advantage of addons like AdBlock (Firefox/Chrome) or NoScript (Firefox - more extreme than AdBlock).

Mobile pro tip: if you're using an iOS device use Reader View and it removes all of the junk and puts all of the pages into one.

Sites like this are making it more difficult for website owners like myself which have only 3 banners there to even get it in hosting costs.

More and more people use ad-blockers now ..for good reasons like this example shows but they also have it on auto-on for every website.

I am losing around 20% ad revenue because ad blockers and bet that not so many people would use them if it weren't for the many websites which are plastered with all kinds of ads. =/

Meh Rant-end

JeffGUNZ4123d ago

I can't stand the sites that say top ten and then every number has it's own page. Really? Two sentences then click to the next page with a million ads.

Hoffmann4123d ago

Its a shitty behaviour to visitors.

jdiggitty4123d ago

Sorry to say but websites lost the public's good will long ago. My adblock is on by default and I've turned it off for websites I want to support, but, invariably they end up running some hyper-annoying autorun ad/banner/popup and I have to block them again.

Hoffmann4122d ago

I know what you mean. Even I as webmaster am blocking many other websites, even big gaming sites like Destructoid because they are full with ads and include pop ups and self playing videos with audio. Like yourself I turn it off for some of the better websites like 101HardcoreGaming or Mobygames though

stoney1014123d ago

How are these broken, barely readable articles getting approved and this much heat?

Stringerbell4122d ago (Edited 4122d ago )

This has been happening not just on N4G but all the newboiler sites. More often than not these people are creating shell accounts to push through their own material.

Loopholes in the algorithm temperature ensure these articles reach 600-700 degrees with barely any comments here and on the hosted site too! Its time to get aggressive with these 'users' because they are really ruining what N4G is supposed to be about.

Honestly I wouldn't lose any sleep if I never saw another herp derp list on this site ever again.

Side note take a look at how many times this has been tweeted. Because this effects the algorithm as well. The author has retweeted their article 8 times in 24 hours. Not to display their story to their audience one / two times is more than enough. But simply to manipulate the algorithm into raising the temperature artificially.

leafari4123d ago

1 pro tip is to never play the incomplete game.
2nd pro tip is to never play the game.

TheStrokes4123d ago

Another tip for you is to maybe shhh.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast622d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole622d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast622d ago (Edited 622d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

Profchaos622d ago

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_622d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981622d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140622d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85622d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj622d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman622d ago (Edited 622d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake622d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn622d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg622d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07622d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Knightofelemia621d ago

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom622d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac622d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake622d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark622d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde622d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125622d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
