I agree with Jimmy that it’s a fine line. And like you mentioned in your blog, it’s become a natural occurence in real life so why not online as well. For me personally it’s the videos that start automatically and cover a portion of the screen that really get me. Smaller and more static images I’m fine with, and if it helps get your blog written then I’m all for it.

You’re right Aidan. I personally prefer ads to donate buttons.

I think ads are the revenue source to fund a blog. If you like a blog with good content and the readers get lot of benefits out of it. It wouldn’t harm for the blog to display some ads to continue run the blog. The readers also does not need to donate to the blog.

[...] So you don’t like ads on websites/blogs If you have a website that has ads, you are probably no stranger to people commenting that you have too many ads on your website. Usually, I just smile and nod when I receive such comment but today, I thought I’d write my thoughts here. [...]

Thank you Jimmy. Everyone loves treats! :)

Thank you for your suggestion, Ruben. I have cloaked my ad links. Now lets sit back and see the money rolling in. :)

I think it is completely upto the blog owner as he can do what he wants , obtrusive ads usually dont get too far , you end up removing them and cleaning up the blog.

Your ads look great I would just suggest cloaking the links so you get a better ROI.

I agree with you Ei – as long as ads are targeted to the right audience and not too intrusive, I think they’re fine. You have the balance about right and I hope you have enough pocket money for some treats soon :)
