Been seeing a lot of pinoy blogs lately that have almost converted their blogs into a virtual billboard for ads. (Reminds me of the sprawling billboards along EDSA.) Believe me, it’s such a pain in the eyes. Three full ads, 2 ad links, affiliate banners, alternate ads covering almost all corners of the page– and for what, a couple more cents a day? Now, that’s not ethical blogging at all.
Yes, it does not hurt to put up an ad or two, but when you see a blog where it has a paragraph or two of content (and sometimes, mostly cut & paste or quoted) having 5 full ads taking up 75% of the page, that’s not just overkill — it’s blog suicide. You’ve just turned your blog to scraps. Or maybe you just forgot what blogging is all about? Still, you’re proud to call yourself a blogger and not a bloggeteer (blog racketeer).
Moderation, look it up in the dictionary.

Too many ads turn people off. That’s especially true with banner ads. If a reader has to look for the content among the ads, wala… talo.

Yep, moderation is the key to effective use of ads in blogs.
(and good traffic of course)

an important thing about ads are placement
but it seems blogs and adsense are becoming one in the way that you can no longer tell if the ads and content are different or its all adsense, there’s a thing with blogs and fonts, its like they all use that certain font which.
Eventually people will get tired of the text ads, they used to be a refreshment to the regular image ads but now it seems mixing them up may be the solution.
