We’ll look at how you can show ads on your website without losing your visitors and incurring a significant loss in user experience.

The most common way for websites to monetize is through advertising. However, if you’re not careful with how that advertising is implemented on your website, it can have a negative impact on the user experience and drive away visitors.

There are a few ways to put ads on your website:

1. You can place an ad above the fold of your website so that users see it right away when they visit your site. The downside of this approach is that it detracts from the content of your site and drives away users who don’t want to see an ad every time they visit.

2. You could put ads in the sidebar or footer of your site, which would be less intrusive than placing them above the fold but still might be distracting to users who are trying to read content without being interrupted by an ad every time they scroll down the page.

3. You could pop up an ad at some point during their visit after they’ve already been on your site for awhile (this can be done using JavaScript). This approach has less potential for driving away users immediately.

If you're looking to grow your business, or if you're just trying to make a little extra cash on the side, it's time to get serious about advertising. But how can you show ads without losing your visitors? The answer is simple: don't.

There are two ways to do this: first, use the Ad Manager plugin for Google Analytics. This plugin allows you to easily create and manage banners and other types of ads on your website, which means that when someone lands on your site from an advertisement, they'll see an ad instead of a 404 error message. When users click on the ad, they'll be taken to the product page at whatever URL you've designated in the plugin settings. And best of all? You can set up any type of ad format (banner ads, pop-up ads), so you can show whatever kind of information works best for your business—and keep track of all those clicks!

The second way is through Google Content Experiments. Content Experiments lets advertisers create unique experiences for their users by showing them different ads based on various conditions (like location or gender). So this will make you not flood visitors views and get them angry with worthless ads.

Just because your website shows ads does not mean your visitors will run away. If your visitors are running away, and if you think that's because of the ads on your site, there might be a couple of reasons.
You are using pop-up or pop-under ads: These ads are very intrusive, they open multiple pages when the visitors click anywhere on the site. If you have these ads, your visitors will run away. In most cases, these ads can install virus on visitors' computers. Never used these ds.
Low-quality ads: if you are advertising scam projects or dubious items, your visitors will run away.
Too many ads: If your website contains too many ads, your visitors will run away. I think 2-3 ads per page is appropriate.
Autoplay video ads: These ads will also chase away your visitors
Flash image ads: These ads are also considered intrusive ads, and thus are a great turn off for the visitors.
