I´d say 11 which means in 2010 I´m gonna fly over to canada and suplex Chris Butcher for his annoying adds. Unless it´s something sleazy, in which case I´m gonna say 1.

Hey, thanks for the support folks. It looks like, judging by people who bothered to respond, about 5% of you are going to end up annoyed with me. I guess we’ll find out soon.

And yeah, I have no plan to start using Google Adsense. The lack of control is really gross, I generally approve every advertisement that runs on the site, something I can’t do with Google.

1 — if it supports 212, it’s good.

Actually I hate ads between post. They are more acceptable on the sides.
But mostly I do read the posts in my reader, so I wouldn´t see the ads.

Mangafox is for profit? Really? (I never really thought about it much, I guess some people would be morally against scanlations…Anyways…)

1 – as long as it’s not some hideous seizure-inducing animated thing, or one of those terrifying pimple-popping ones I keep seeing on Hotmail.

And no, I haven’t seen it on your site, but they pop up on a lot of other manga blogs, and even Publisher’s Weekly…

The problem is Google, really. They just don’t seem to care enough to do a thing about it.

One of many for-profit membership pirate sites with pilferred scanlations. They’re coming up through Google Adsense mainly.

Ed & Simon- What’s mangafox? Did I run an ad for them or something?

Heh, manga pirate ads was the first thing to come to my mind too… that would be a 10.

That’s the thing, isn’t it? I don’t care how many ads there are, but what what kind of ads they are. As long as flash heavy ads are kept to a minimum so that I can still scroll the browser without delay, and they are sufficiently distinguishable from the content, 1.

Hmm it depends…

9- If I see another MangaFox ad.
8- And I sure don’t want them to show up on the RSS feed.

4- Anything else.

1. Just never add in-text ads. Those make me stop reading sites.

I’d put it at a “2″ as well, though I have the same question as Stacy about the type of ads. I have no idea how those banner systems work and how much control you’d have over which ads ran, and I’d hate to see you stuck with something horrible.

I wouldn’t be upset at all….er…0

1 (but I wouldn’t see it anyway–even if there was no AdBlock it would still be pretty low, maybe a 2)

0, as I generally just read the RSS feed.

Depends on the banner.
Something comic or book related, or otherwise innocuous? 1
