Did you ever wander what would happen if ad-blocking software
would ban adsense? I am using Norton Security and when you
install it it has some tough attitude on adds, so tough I even got
scared when I did not see my banner on some site I had exchange
with, only because NS was considering this advertising and was
blocking it.

I see this as a very dangerous problem and google should do
something about it, until is not too late.

Adblocking software does block adsense. Get Adsubtract

Little beknownst to them that while the internet may have been ad-free before Wired introduced the first advertisement, it now does cost us money to own and run websites. Without those ads, the internet would be much less evolved and popular.

Great point TNT!

I know like a lot of other webmaster-pimps. (I just created that word by the way). I put atleast two hours a day into web sites that I build. If it's either in reading articles, re-programming, creating new, or whatever. My time at some point is worth money. I will not think twice about running advertisement being intruisive or not to get compensated for work put into the site. I know when I visit sites that I like I actually click on the sponsers because I know that's what brings me good content.
