ads
Does anyone else think that the ads within the questions are extremely irritating? I mean I know Advicenators is free and all and they have to get money from somewheres, but come on. I think it takes away from the seriousness of people's questions and is rather distracting. The ads on the sides are nice and I must say I've clicked on them before, but when someone says "he has to stay at work late to make up the time" in thier question I feel it's extremely tacky and quite ridiculous to have a make up ad in the middle of that person's serious question that has nothing to do with painting their face. When reading along in a question, when something is underlined and a different color your eyes automatically go to it and your brain focuses on it making it difficult to focus on the question. I get distracted very easily. If I were answering a question and the ad within it was something I wanted to look at I would likely click on it and not put my full attention into the advice I was giving, which I believe is unfair. I sure don't want any ads in the middle of questions I may ask in the future. I dunno that's just my thought. I think it would be really ironic if one was put into this question. Anyways, what does everyone else think? Am I overreacting?

Hello there,
The ads are not in the middle of the questions, they are below the questions.
Maybe I should put them in the middle of the question. ;-)
As for the ads content, perhaps you aren't aware, but those ads are automatically selected by google's robot. The choices are often quite off key, or very amusing.
There isn't much I can do about that.
As of right now this site loses $800+ per month.
If you have an idea to improve revenues, feel free to let me know.
Many people are annoyed by any ads anywhere. Some people just ignore them, even when the answers to the questions are right there... Both situations either result in the closure of free sites, or lead to a frustrated admin loading every possible space with ads.
I don't want to see either situation occur.

I think they're really annoying. But I can't complain, as I'm using this site for free, and the ads are needed to make it possible for me and others to use the site free of charge.
If they're really bothering you - sign up for a paid account, and they will dissapear.

the more people that sign up for paid accounts, the less ads this site needs to stay up and running. i dont know about currently, but the last admin was actualy paying money out of pocket to keep it up. this site is not a money maker, but it very well could be if you look at some other sites on the net that have an obscene amount of ads, some with sound and complex animations to slow it down. the ads on this site are completely unintrusive, and i have never clicked on one, i gererarly dont even read them. the ads really are needed to keep the site up.
