So undecided on whether to throw some ads on this site or not. Not making it a flashing pinball machine of a site like a ryanair or alike.

A small little disclaimer, I do work within the industry, so I like ads, I like seeing them on sites. Why? Probably professional curiosity, also they have become so ubiquitous with the internet it seems a little unnatural when these banners are missing.

With the relaunch of this site since the downtime, I have considered adding adverts to the site more and more. This new theme lends itself nicely to an ad or two, but by the same token, money received for these ads wouldn’t even come close to covering my server costs I suspect.

As this is a personal blog I see many would be precious about advertising and not allow it, the question is does it affect the user experience in anyway and how does it change the way this site is viewed?

Love to hear your opinions, it will sway my decision.
