		<description>In many cases the reason is poor ads revenue. If you're paying for the site anyway and you don't get the revenue expected removing the ads can eb an act of making your site more stylish. If you have 50-10 daily visitors and only 2-3 of them click on your ads you can't expect to get any decent revenue so removing the ugly crap can help you maintain sanity.</description>

		<description>Good point Jim.  I think that the important part here is that the ads aren't intrusive.  It can become a delicate balance.  Hopefully, I can keep it all in line. ;)</description>

		<description>I always said that whatever a blogger does on his own blog is up to him.  But when the ads get more important than the blog contents, I probably would stop reading.</description>

		<description>No problem Jim.  

I don't think your ideas are too bad either. ;)  I agree, if the ads are done properly, they do make your site look more professional.  We're all so used to seeing the ads on sites like CNN and Technorati that we almost look at them as a bit of a validation of the site.</description>
