Awesome app, but what is up with the million Google ads everywhere. I even saw ads above the fold in the main content area ABOVE my recipes. If the point of the site is recipes, I wouldn't dilute it so much with ads. At this stage, you're probably not making a ton of money with the ads anyway - I think it just cheapens the user experience.
Get rid of the ads, and I think you have a really compelling site.

- sobriquet 17y agoI know I shouldn't be making enchiladas... but do you really need to show me 4 Google ads for "Belly Fat Diet Recipe"? Fine! i'll make a salad. with cheese
- CamperBob 17y agoI'm actually somewhat disturbed by how popular that ad is. It's all I ever see while surfing, some days. If the Web doesn't attract better quality advertising than those lame-ass belly fat diet ads, then Web advertising in general isn't going to be sustainable.
- damovisa 17y agoI don't think it's fair to just say "get rid of the ads". You should always be able to monetize your site somehow... That said, they are a bit invasive... That might be solved with a redesign you've said you'll probably give in to :)
- metachris 17y agoseriously, the first thing such a site need is a ton of users. and you'll get them faster by removing the obstrusive ads. then it should be rather easy to monetize the site -- doesn't even have to be google adwords...
- aik 17y agoThe ads are very intrusive indeed. While glancing at your site, my senses heightened because my "be careful or you will click on a tricky advertisement!" sense was increased to CODE RED. The alternating ad-content-ad scheme is very much NOT friendly.
