Cheers, Rich.
Not really, why do I need to see a sites ads to evaluate it's content? Take a site like slashdot, I visit, I like the content, so I decide to white-list. However I find the ads over intrusive so I put it back on the black list, On the other hand I go somewhere like pvponline or pandora, I like it, so I white list and find that the ads are reasonable and don't get in the way of the content, so I click on them, even though I'm not remotely interested in what they have to offer. The things these sites have in common? They all give quality content, if you don't give quality content I'm unlikely to visit regularly (for example I occasionally visit newspaper sites, but the content is as bad as the print versions) so there's no point in me white listing the site. The moral of the story? Give users quality and they will come, if they come they will be happy to help you generate revenue. Vijay.
