Like I said, different strokes for different folks. It's just two different approaches. |
lol I know mate I know, I couldn't resist though
horses for courses, but calling that type of banner blind or deceptive is a bit overkill to me - the click takes the surfer to the site, and 1 click is required to play the vid. Exactly the same as saying 'click here to watch all the videos at blahblah.com', just 4 as likely to get the actual click. If I make a surfer 'suffer' by having him click once more to see a video clip start playing, well, let's just say I lose zero sleep, and I highly doubt I just gave him a bad surfing experience anyway
