Yeah I think they're a bad idea. I think it would put new people off abit - it would definately make the site seem 'less authentic' or for me anyway, alarm bells would go ringing that it was one of those infomerical sites or something. I have some kind of automatic mental filter - I never ever click on those type of google adverts, ever. I never even click on the 'sponsered links' bit in blue in google even. Its like I want unbiased information.
So, I think it might make this site seem abit phoney or something. Of course, I know this isn't the case. But imagine you were looking at a university website and they had all those google ads on it...it wouldn't really reflect well.
But, I understand the world revolves around money...sooo.... if we need money Bob, then do it.
Kind regards
Meri
