It doesn't matter what the story is, it WILL have doubters. So to protect yourself it is better to look as trust able as possible. I am NOT saying to leave ads off your site all the time, but if one of your stories starts to go viral, then imo you should consider taking them off for a while. Even if it loses you one pr5 links, that can lead to hundreds of other links being lost. It just isn't worth it. However, it is not a rock solid rule, it is just my advice.

I just don't understand this backlash against advertising when you first start a site. Sure it's bad to overload on ads, but I think adsense and many other forms are so ubiquitous now that visitors are rarely offending. Those who are offended usually block those ads anyway.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-28078">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Great post Dean.

Almost every other blogger would have just claimed the success, traffic and money. I proved it.
