How many ads are to many ads

[Holly Nicole]

I know sites rely on ads to help with the server cost but is there a point where there are to many ads. I was on a website that their entire side bar blocks were ads so it hid the recent posts. Some forums include them under posts on forums. I don't mind ads but there is a limit on how many should be on a site.

I have never done any study on this issue, but too many ads on a site that I’m viewing sure annoys me. Every person has that built-in instinct that rings a bell to lets them know when they are overdoing anything.
Promoters should let their conscience be their guide in deciding how many ads to place on websites. Other than turning away viewers, excessive amounts of ads on a site make it look spammy.
It’s a bit inappropriate to say how many ads advertisers should place on a website; they need to place them in moderation.
