Engadget.com - A Visual Breakdown

14 05 2006

The last time I was reading an article on Engadget.com (a blog I was enjoying a lot in its early days), I was shocked by the amount of advertising on it. A whole bunch of Google Ad packs, and next to that there’s the overload of Weblogs Inc. promotional material.

The red part is the actual article, orange are the comments, yellow the navigation.
Black are paid ads, and gray is property of Weblogs Inc. (Click for full view)
