Somewhat clever, but above all else, I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to finding information that is little more than an interest piece (by that I mean pretty much all traditional reporting and blogging/meta-reporting) and such a form of advertisement would make me look elsewhere in the land of ubiquitous information. Hell, I can barely be bothered to log into nytimes, and in fact will usually bypass is because I know I'll have to log in if I want to read the story. Every once in a while there will be a story that interests me enough, but truthfully, I feel that most of the stuff being reported on by anyone is crap and I only read it to kill a little time while waiting to do something else.
I do realize though that I'm not the target audience for most websites as I never click on ads and won't even bother to log into a free site. If someone wants to earn money from me, they really need to produce something that I consider quality content, which I will then gladly pay for, but the number of things I pay for is minuscule.
