The ads you place say a lot about you as a blogger. If ads are a must to support your blog, make them decent. Kudos Good call rejecting them. The ads you place say a lot about you as a blogger.

I don't mind the ads you usually have, and in fact don't mind most ads in general. I just want them to stay in their places and not jump out into the text. Thanks for not having them.

Not because ads on your blog in particular annoy me but since a lot of other sites have very annoying ads, and the blockers don't discriminate between sites. I realize that ad revenue is important to bloggers, but you can take consolation from the fact that I wouldn't typically click on ads anyway, since a lot of US firms (especially smaller ones) don't ship overseas and I would rather not get the frustration of seeing an ad for something really cool and then not being able to buy it ;-) I’m one of those people who use adblockers (please don’t hate me!).

Don't like them. I ABSOLUTELY HATE the "slime" ones... I won't quit reading the blog if you get them, I'll just think poorly of you. (that's a joke. well, maybe.) Bleh. Don’t like them.

But I wouldn't stop reading your blog because you let advertisers use them. I have paid attention to the ads you have now, and I probably wouldn't if they were the flicker kind. But in these times, who can turn down potential revenue? I really hate those. But I wouldn’t stop reading your blog because you let advertisers use them.

It's distracting when you are trying to read and makes the blog look cheap and unprofessional. When the big sites like Yahoo and MSN started doing those pop-outs, I thought we hit a desperate new low for ad dollars. I hate them!

I also would agree that the ones that pop up when you mouse over are annoying because suddenly what you're reading is covered in an ad. They give me a headache.
