Google ads are customized to your personal interests, so what you see usually says more about what sites you yourself frequent.

Yeah I am not a fan of the ads. Makes the blog look spammy.

I went to one if the blog posts and it has an adsense ad for pizza. I agree that we should be monitzing our efforts for more funding but ads just make us look bad... Not even worth the income for the potential loss of new users.

You need to take down the ads. Ads are good for monetizing when no other monetization method is more effective. Right now we have a few clear, valuable call-to-actions: get a bitshares account, buy bitshares, buy bitUSD, and sign up for the mailing list.

Anything else just distracts users away from these important goals, all while damaging the perceived value and credibility of you and bitshares on the whole.



I agree it makes the blog look unprofessional . There is not much traffic yet anyway, so no much money to be made.
