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!

caseh3384d 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.

GameSpawn3384d 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

JeffGUNZ3384d 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.

Hoffmann3384d ago

Its a shitty behaviour to visitors.

jdiggitty3384d 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.

Hoffmann3383d 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

stoney1013384d ago

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

Stringerbell3383d ago (Edited 3383d 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.

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

TheStrokes3384d ago

Another tip for you is to maybe shhh.

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell345d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig346d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast346d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g345d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka345d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai497d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface495d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard493d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
