(Hat Tip: IndianPad)
Jerry over on Orkut Plus! (a cool blog listing Orkut hacks) has posted a GreaseMonkey script enabling users to remove Google Ads on Orkut.
Now this is not a new hack (as other users have created similar scripts) but I was wondering if Google Ads are really that annoying? After all, most Blog*Spot bloggers (including Jerry) have them on their sites, not to mention many social networks as well.
I don't really mind the ads as they help Google cover their costs and keep the infamous donut errors at bay, but it seems that some (or perhaps many) people find the ads to be a bit irritating.
What do you guys think? Do you find the ads to be helpful, or annoying, and if the latter, why?
5 opinions:
I don't use Orkut much, but their ads are not annoying at all, though I notice them every time I use Orkut, lol. They are attracting, or distracting indeed. :)
If anyone think that they are annoying, they should cancel their AdSense account.
definitely annoying
and they r so plain stupid...
also bcoz ads ruin the page layout
n reducing the real estate in orkut ;)
I agree with haochi.., If u dont like the ads then get off the ring..!
How ar they suppose to get over the cost???
I would like to get the greasemonkey script as well. I would use it each time I visit Orkut plus :))
Yep, I think they're pretty annoying on many of the blogs I've viewed. I don't have them on my blog yet because I think it's a sign of selling out. Everyone has a price though, although they haven't offered me enough to put ads on my blog. Then again, I've only started posting on my blog recently.
