If indeed there is one. I imagine it would have to be 'run' by a non profit organisation that relies on some small Donation ($2 sound good. Didn't the President do something along these lines?). I for one would recommend it and display a logo on our site. I believe, honest web users would welcome such a move to enable faster and less annoying Flash banners one has to deal with on most web sites these days. 'Beware those who suffer from epilepsy' is a phrase that comes to mind. Barrie Ornzitt. Art reviewer and Critic for the W.O.R.K group Sweden.

I make them fit in with my content. I don't expect people to linger but get their information they need and if they are interested in an ad they can check it out. But I try not make my website full of anoying visual ads but text ads. I just make sure that my ads are not annoying. I make them fit in with my content.

I'm only really interested in the content. In the UK a survey was done a few years back about TV ads and most people admitted to changing channels when ads came on! All that money wasted in expensive advertising campaigns. I seldom read ads on websites and I’m probably not the only one. I’m only really interested in the content.

Heck, I even click on a contextual ad from time to time. The only time I hate ads is when they're intrusive like pop-ups or those "Subscribe to Our Newsletter" images that pop up and make you click yes or no before reading the article. In that case, I still wouldn't pay, I just won't go back to that website. I don’t mind seeing ads at all because I know that’s what it takes to keep these sites free.
