I’m a pro-blogger and the major revenue comes from advertisements, so I’m bound to love advertisements. However, I love advertisement when I’m on the consumer side too and the reasons for that are :
1. I get to know about new products.
2. I like to see the innovation and creativity in the advertisements (if it has some hot looking chick, then it gets even better).
3. They allow us to get most of the services for free.
Well, the real reason is the third one. Just imagine that how many web services are free because they are ad-supported. Without ads, we would have paid for all those services and I’m sure you wouldn’t like that at all.
Till this time we had free and paid games but generally the free games were never of Good quality and the ones which were paid carry a hefty price tag with them.
However, it seems that soon all that will be history as WildTangent (a gaming portal) is going to release a new platform called Orb where people will be able to play games for free and this will be possible because they’ll display commercials before each game session.
According to Webware, two gaming companies Sierra Online & THQ have already joined the platform and I’m sure that soon there will be more and more companies who’ll be following their path.
However, I suggest WildTangent to act fast in this as we never know that when Google will integrate or release the in-game advertisements for various game publishers; if you don’t remember Google bought Adscape Media some time back, which offers dynamic delivery of ads inside games.
So, what do you have to say as far as loving advertisements is concerned :] Do you still hate’ em ?

I consider ads as a necessary evil. I am a publisher – and ads get me money. I am a consumer – and they let me have free stuff.

very true…i find it funny when people say that they don’t like sites with ads…ofcourse a site with too many ads and a site with ads not well placed are clumsy…but saying that i don’t want to read a site with ad is funny…and the only answer to their behaviour is jealousy…jealous that the site owner is making revenue out of ads…i just cannot find any other answer to it…

well i don’t hate advertisement as long as they are related to my site contents. but when sites like bidvertiser shows ads out of content then yes i hate them, because that don’t fetch any clicks and no income.

If there are too many ads scattered on a site, we will hate them but as Binny said “they are necessary evil”
