Another fact is when readers from technology websites read the article and they find it useful they click on the advertisement to appreciate the article. While putting the advertisement, do you think of the following points:

  • Why are your readers here?
  • Is content more important than advertisement?
  • Where to keep the advertisement without hampering your reader’s point and without knocking down your advertisement.
