Banner ads, pop ups ads, pop in ads, in-text ads – list keeps getting bigger and bigger. Here is another type of advertising format not talked about too much - Strip Ad. It is basically a text ad shown at the top of a webpage. It is NOT a new type of advertising with few big and popular blogs already using it for a while now.
These ads always catch an eye of a visitor as the webpage loads. On the other hand they are non-obtrusive and do not break the reading experience of a visitor. MaxBlogPress has released free wordpress plugin to show Stripe ads on WordPress blogs.
