"We studied issue 3.09 (the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger on its cover) and were not surprised to discover that of its 206 pages, 90 were full page ads. (If you include 1/2's, 1/4's, and pull-outs the ratio jumps to a clean 50/50 split.)"
Further analysis of Wired's ad/content ratio was done by the Magazineer in January -- http://magazineer.com/howto/26 http://magazineer.com/howto/26
