(You know what I mean if you&#8217;ve used the tracker.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intention was to make the ads &#8216;louder&#8217;, so as to improve on the clickthrough rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To our surprise, we didn&#8217;t see any significant improvement in the clickthrough after 2 weeks of running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, we have received feedback from members saying they don&#8217;t like the &#8216;loud&#8217; ads. The ads are taking the attention away from their main link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the new ad format doesn&#8217;t have much positive benefits, we are reverting back to the old but improved &#8216;subtle&#8217; format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how the new ad format looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapnew.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"741\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.leadsleap.com\/blog\/whats-new-in-leadsleap-3-0\/trckapnew\/\" class=\"wp-image-741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapnew.jpg 800w, https:\/\/leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapnew-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapnew-768x541.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The ads will not be shown immediately. They will appear some time later, and you can decide when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve tested this new format for 3 days now. The clickthrough rate is  comparable to the older formats, yet it is less obtrusive and more  customizable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can decide when you want the ad to be shown and where you want it to be shown using the options below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-container-4 wp-block-gallery-3 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"177\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapopt-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"746\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.leadsleap.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=746\" class=\"wp-image-746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapopt-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapopt-1-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leadsleap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/trckapopt-1-768x170.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel embarrassed for releasing something that doesn&#8217;t work.
