Google IMO became good simply because of thier search engine
capabilities. The ads have helped with thier revanue, however it
doesn't matter how good thier ads are, if thier search engine hadn't
been up to par, then they wouldn't be in existance. Look at Yahoo. It
was the leader. They have sence I can remember had anoying ads, but
they did well. This was simply because they were the best search engine
out there. Once google became the best, yahoo, took the back seat. The
ads they do arn't what make them big. Its just an added bonus.

Jakob Nielsen said it best; "Google's done well because they made ads that

without giving me a seizure, nor to do they appear over the top of my
webpage that I'm reading with no discernable close button.
Google has not become the billion dollar company they are because of ads;
they became that because of good search capabilities, ads that are relevant
& not distracting, and allowing others to share in the revenue they
generate.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Expandable banners
something to consider is that google works off adds. If it weren't for
thier adds you would have to pay for it. Same with Yahoo. I could keep
going but I won't. I agree with pete here. I don't like adds being
everywhere, but I do see the purpose and so I accept it. Its easy
enough to ignor. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find something
interesting. But if you don't, just ignor it. Flash banners, java
script banners, basic jpeg/gif banners really arn't that much
different. The flash ones are just more fun to play with. ;) Personaly
I'd hate it if they got rid of banner advertising. They would probably
go back to pop ups everywhere wich is even more anoying. Oh, and some
of us arn't rich and can't afford to pay for every site we go to.

Right now I pay $12.99 a month for high quality programming without
commercials, it's called HBO.
it costs you $60 to go to the movies,
At $9 a ticket we're not far from that now.
a daily news papaer is $10 a day,
Like I'd pay to read that crap...
and finaly you have to pay $99 per month just to use your favour
websites
(that used to be free)
The good ones don't need ads. If you content is worth consuming,
people will pay to consume it.
