On my site that means more than 50% of my visitors aren't seeing the ads. Then again I don't have any qualms with "preying" on IE users who are stupid enough to still be running that browser.

I find it ugly, and distractive, which is not good if you are wanting people to read your content. I also think that readers are wised up to Adsense now, and aren't clicking on the ads, especially fellow bloggers, and I'd only click on an ad if it REALLY interested me. I’m not a fan of Adsense.

You still didn't really answer the question on monetization for Chrisg.com... How will you be monetizing your blog? Through private ad sales and RSS advertising? I'm always interested in blog monetization and would love to hear your thoughts on how to monetize a blog without having the ads overpower the content. Maybe that's fodder for another post.. :) Chris,

Those who cannot find direct advertisers, sponsors or find success in other monetization setups find AdSense as a lifesaver, even if the earnings are just enough to cover the hosting and broadband bills. Of course you have a good point as well. I guess it all boils down to striking a good balance between ad placement and emphasizing content. Ashwin has a good point.
