A Word on AdWords

Ryan Howard |Friday 15 February 2008

I‘ve been toying with whether to reinstate AdSense and I’ve come to a conclusion. “Not right now” is the short answer. This mainly has to do with the current state of NViRT and the fact that a reemerging/struggling publication such as ours would be worse off with ads mucking up the works. It’s not that we aren’t greedy bastards or anything, far from it. Know that if(read: when) we decide to place ads on this site, it will be done in the most tasteful/profitable way possible. So yea, NViRT is ad free for the time being.

We will reassess profitability vs reader loyalty in the future and who knows, we may even get those bullshit contextual links in the middle an article. You know,  those links no one wants to click on in the first place but does anyway. All because they are thinking the author is referencing something relevant. Seriously though, that will never happen. Worst case scenario, theres going to be specific adverts for things that we endorse or an AdSense box in the sidebar with some defined control over what AdSense will display.
