Wow what a interesting conversation we have here. I was surprised to find majority of the comments advocating against displaying ads and also against using tracking to deliver a targeted one, yet whenever a question pops up about the best way to drive traffic to your startup, the top voted answer remains using adwords. facebook ads so on. Keep in mind, ads: no matter how much we hate them, every company uses them for growth. Imagine a world where everyone uses adblock, there would not be any place left to advertise your product, and most will resort to spamming links across forums/blogs/emails. Just my 2cents thought. PS: But annoying ads on the other hand are a completely different issue and needs to addressed.
