Hey! The Mellow Mushroom Compilation video link doesn't seem to be working... give this one a try! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYb_bfixk-8&feature=plcp

I'm sure you must have the functionality somewhere - but HOW does one change there email adress for newsletters?

Amazingly, this seems to be a common omission on many sites. I'm sure it has to cost these sites many viewers / customers. You know how freqeuntly people change jobs in the ad industry, right?

It used to work great, I'd spend hours on it. But now everything I want to watch or read is just a link to your website. It completely eliminates the purpose of being on Flipboard where I can curate everything into one spot.

Take away the new feature that forces you to answer a survey before you can read an article! You will not get genuine answers either. [updated]

I will no longer read any articles on Adweek as long as the survey/sharing wall is up. Why would I share a page that I haven't even had the chance to read yet? And I prefer not to answer any questions that will eventually become a behaviorally targeted ad.

Hi Missy,

Thanks for your feedback it definitely helps as we trial a new product such as this.

We are working with Google in refining the share feature - it occasionally shows instead of the questions, which is what you have been experiencing - however, it still needs further adjusting.

The program in general is something we are trying as an alternative to putting up a hard paywall to access our content. www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/adweek-google-partner-publishing-revenue-model-139265

Best,
Jeff

I haven't been able to read a story all week because it keeps forcing me to share the story, even about my own client work. This is absurd and a very clear demonstration that Adweek has no idea how to interface properly with consumers. Makes me question their credibility as a whole in their critiques of any other advertisers, since their tactics are apparently total alienation.

There is an issue with your body text. [updated]

2012-04-23T08:25:11-07:00

The issue is that the it is showing up as grey font, grey background and the letters are displaying as dashes. It has been like this for a couple weeks. Also, this has shown up on multiple computers (All Mac) grab.by/df5I

Now in order to read a full story, I must "share" it. [updated]

2012-04-10T07:20:16-07:00

Now, instead of forcing me to respond to an invasive micro-survey, I am now being told I must "share" the article before I am given the privilege of reading it. Well, guess what, Adweek? I don't belong to any of the communities you assume I would share the article with. So I guess I will simply ignore your journalism, as will the readers of my newsletter. This new strategy of yours is so obviously counter-productive that it's hard to believe a respected publication such as this would subscribe to it. Please just let us read what you have written, otherwise, your readership and interest will drop.

Jeffrey Rudolf said:

Thanks for your feedback.

The surveys are a new program we are experimenting with: www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/adweek-google-partner-publishing-revenue-model-139265

We want to continue to provide high quality content for our readers, but at this point we would also like to avoid putting up a hard paywall to access it.

We feel that the micro-surveys are a quick way for us to bridge this gap. I am sorry that you find them invasive, however they are anonymous.

The sharing functionality is an alternate option that occasionally shows in place of the survey. We are still working on tweaking this further.

The surveys are inane and invasive. But as I commented above, today I was confronted with the option of sharing the article or not reading it. This is even worse, as I don't even belong to the social networks with which I'm supposed to share the article - so I have no option whatever. I would rather have the 30 second pre-roll. The reason? It's not asking for information from me, which I have no desire to share with you or your sponsors.

sorry to hear that your disappointed with the new mircosurveys we're testing with Google. We don't want to create a bad user experience for our readers.

Essentially we're experimenting with new methods to monetize our editorial content. One alternative is to put our content behind a traditional paywall and we'd really like to avoid that.

Keep in mind that you'll only see one of these questions on your second article view and it's capped at once per day.

It only takes about 5 second to answer so if you compare that to a 30 second pre-roll for a video we think it's a much better alternative.

We're just trying new ways to continue to produce high quality content and keep it free to our readers.

That said, we're testing this and your feedback is really valuable.

I'm not sure if it's an issue with how your survey is serving, but currently I can't read any articles. All I'm getting on my end is the various other rich media (videos etc all seem to work) and the survey. Only AFTER I took the survey was I allowed to see content. I'm just hoping that isn't intentional...

Forced Survey Format is Terrible - Drives Traffic Away [updated]

2012-04-06T10:16:10-07:00

As a reader as a publisher of a newsletter that drives traffic to your website, I will no longer highlight stories from Adweek, as it forces readers to participate in a survey before allowing them to read an article. It's a terrible imposition -- and I do not believe that you will get relevant results. What you will get is people clicking on any old thing just to get rid of the annoyance.

It seems that your comments section on articles only shows the last 5 comments posted. Can this be removed or amended so there is an option to review ALL the comments? One of the great things about adweek articles is the ability to see input from industry professionals. Only showing a few of the comments (including spam) seriously undercuts the value of your content.

Vueno Vonito Varato Vonage [updated]

2011-09-14T07:40:24-07:00

Could you please write an article about this TERRIBLE campaign? Because Vonage first letter is V doesn't mean they can write Vueno (Bueno) Vonito (Bonito) Varato (Barato) with V, if an US american person is learning Spanish, they will think is correct to write them in that way, and it is totally wrong. Mediocre company! Why they do not change the name from Vonage to Bonage? hehe

unsubscribing from email newsletter makes a user click 'sign up' [is now completed]

when clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of an email newsletter, it takes you to the sign up page, and a user is required to click 'sign up' when they are in fact unsubscribing. very very odd.
