So, I have a pet peeve, and that is google ads and other god-awful ugly pandering on smaller web sites (even big ones). My site traffic has been growing lately, and I've gotten a few people asking why I haven't put up google ads.... I am just religiously against
it.
Nothing turns me off more to a blog site then when they have spastic ads all over it and having to filter content.
If I ever do have ads, and I hope to one day, they will be good looking. Like reddit, or facebook....
how do you all feel about this?

The Internet has adverts? Where!? When did this happen?

Me, all suited up!
I don't do advertisements either. A website I had created for a client of mine has achieved a PR of 3 in three months with over 18K+ visitors a month. Ads just suck out money! Don't really need them on blogs unless you want to be a cheap * and make money off what you write.

Yes, they live in the interweb tubes. Blocking all the other internets from getting to people. Like interweb gremlins.evildictaitor said:The Internet has adverts? Where!? When did this happen?

Sara, I agree with you, sites bathed in Google ads smell exactly the same as rotten Bananas.
I've personally made a stand against them...have not used them once.

Try the Mashable website. The site loads in a nanosecond and it takes up to 20 seconds plus for all the ads to stream in. So much so that you can't even find half the navigation on the site there's so many ads.
Usability nightmare. -
