In our latest eyetracking study, we observed that some participants have learned to skip past the ad presented at the top of the Google search results, even though its visual design is far from the traditional banner ad,\u201d says the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"latest update to N\/N Group study (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/banner-blindness-old-and-new-findings\/\" target=\"_blank\">latest update to N\/N Group study<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users ignoring ads leads to reduced viewability score and fewer clicks, and consequently, lower ad revenue for publishers.

When you serve relevant ads that respect the user experience, people see them as appropriate suggestions, and not the in-your-face irrelevant ads they commonly ignore these days. Banner blindness will melt away once audiences realize ads are curated and in a proper context.<\/p><p>Choosing high-quality publishers can be essential for seeing campaign success and avoiding the pitfalls of modern advertising online. Marketers who purchase advertising from programmatic networks have no idea where their ads are being served or the quality of the publishers they&#8217;re working with. It&#8217;s a dangerous game that&#8217;s still way too common.<\/p><p>The end result of that paradigm is banner blindness. If we&#8217;re serious about removing banner blindness from the equation, we need to start having a conversation about where ads are running and how they&#8217;re being served to relevant audiences. For us, that all starts with building the proper contextual ecosystem for marketers and publishers<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajiv-khaneja-adbutler\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rajiv_Khaneja_AdButler\"><\/span>Rajiv Khaneja, AdButler<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rajiv-Khaneja-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rajiv-Khaneja-1.png 200w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rajiv-Khaneja-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rajiv-Khaneja-1-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Rajiv Khaneja is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and&nbsp; Founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adbutler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">AdButler<\/a>, a leading AdTech Platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Solving banner blindness is a fantastic opportunity for publishers.&nbsp; Publishers who get this right will attract better advertisers and happier users.<\/p><p>Banner blindness is the brain&#8217;s response to irrelevant content.&nbsp; The brain is really good at filtering out bad patterns.

The reason for this is that they often feel irritated by the page.
