If they are relevant and don\'t jump in my face I actually like ads. On the other hand: If they are totally unrelevant, take too much space and make my surfing take longer, I will go away and stay away. In your case, a few more ads is totally ok.

You can put ads on your own website - but not on website people has spend their time and others resources to contribute content.<br><br>Also ads can make readers unhappy - imagine reading article about your city and seeing some scam ads like GreenCardLottery, screensavers, get rich fast and others ( <a href="http://blog.siteadvisor.com/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.siteadvisor.com/</a> ).<br>This is unknown how advertisers can abuse WikiPedia - as everyone can edit it any page - they can put own keywords there to trigger ads. Then money become involved - you will not imagine that those companies can do. There are already large problem with link spamming (for SEO purpose) - policing and managing ads will only add one more problem.<br><br>Putting small box with AOL logo nobody will notice does not make sense to AOL - as they need people to notice it and get attention !<br><br>As well - are WikiPedia short of money ? Last fundraising campaign was successful.<br>Getting money simply to donate them to some charity is not best reason to put ads. Those ads are not "free" - consumers have to cover full cost of running them (and large extra) then buying products advertised. Those scam ads I\'ve mentioned before are even much worse - this will mean WikiPedia is helping those scammers (as people tend to trust WikiPedia content) - but will be pretending to be "clean" as all money are donated.</div>\

Frankly I\'m pretty suprised at this.<br><br>I hadn\'t noticed it until just now, but it seems that nearly all of the blogs that I read by actually going to the site have no adds. The rest are through rss.<br><br>Nothing against rss. We all know how good it is at pulling mountains of info into one place, but for people who I really respect and maybe friends too, I spend that extra tome to go to the site because it gives me a sense of that person.<br><br>All I\'m saying is be very carefull. It\'s not always obvious where the real value is. I find it quite incredible how you\'ve managed to build up such a fantastic worldwide reputation (with people most of whom you\'ve never even met) of integrity, honesty and independance, despite working for company which has often not been reguarded so highly.<br><br>Would it all have worked out the same had you put ads in from the beguining?<br><br>What is your gut telling you?</div>\
