Of course, we could establish guidelines to make the ads look more |
2 |
integrated (i.e. recolored, etc.) to the site. After all, if they looked |
3 |
really out of place, then they may reduce the value for the advertisers |
4 |
because visitors think they're a general annoyance. I think advertiser |
5 |
would understand this reasoning. Just a thought from another perspective. |
