Default Don't over-do the ads!

Just a reminder! I found a so-so site that could be much better if only there weren't so many ads.

http://www.angelsghosts.com/haunted_vacations.html

The ads appear to out-weigh the acutal content for a while. How much cleaner would that be if they took a slight step back?

No matter how excited you get by the money you're making, don't over-do it =)

Whoa! Yep. That is a bit much to say the least. It's overwhelming.

The website so hard to read with the background and purple fonts.

Yeah I think they're trying to go with the ghostly theme, which I get, but it doesn't make for an easy read.

Wow, the idea of the site appears to be a good one however all those ads are very distracting and then there's the black background and purple fonts.

They probably could have done a better job of trying to make the site look scary by using a white background with black fonts and actually putting cartoon ghosts on the sides of the page.

Better yet, take away some of the ads and put ghosts, bats, witches or black cats there.

might have taken the text links out but the font and design is too reader-unfriendly!

Wow. I think they have way too many adds. Adds can make you money, but if you overdo them like that, you will lose money because people will feel like they are being taken only for their money.

Less adds can mean more money-especially in this case!

I'm experimenting with completely removing CPC ads on my main site for now. I'm going to go without ads for a while, and then add them back. I want to see if my affiliate conversion go up or down because of it. :P
