So I clicked on one of the ads that I often see on the side of web pages saying like “New rule for California Drivers”.
I always figured it was just going to try and get my credit card information or something, but it seems to actually bring me to an article. Now, whether if I tried to then click other links to get the ‘reward’, that I don’t know, and don’t really want to try and find out. But this is very interesting either way.
Because, see, it was very unsuccessful advertising. I only clicked it this time because it was Sunday evening and I needed a third Media Blog. Whether this is legitimate or not, they managed to put their ad placement in such a way that I automatically assumed they were trying to either steal money or download a virus onto my computer.
I doubt that there is actually an easy way to find new insurers and save hundreds of dollars for myself, but it is quite possible, even probable, that many of the ads I see on the edges of web pages actually link to something not dangerous. However, for any legitimate, safe, links buried in there, I won’t click them, because I don't trust them not to try and take advantage of my curiosity.
Either way, though, once I finish posting this I’m gonna run my Anti-Malware software. Just in case.
I usually ignore the ads on the side bars because they look suspicious to me. I would have to agree on your thought that the ads on the sidebars just want credit card information or money. Although I didn't see you state any common advertisement techniques or appeals and needs. Overall you've got a good lead on this ad.
