I totally agree with everything he said. You see sites opping up everyday and there all "built for adsense". I hate when I go to a big coprs website and they have ads on there, its really not neccesary is it?.. i mean cmon.

Not sure where to post? Where to post what? Come on, it's not that difficult.

Over-advertising is what's wrong with online advertising. That doesn't make adsense lame, or even 'built for adsense' sites all that bad. Something should be said for people taking the time to build a site full of original content that ranks well in the search engines. If the ads are relevant, and not all over the place than it's fine. The ESPN site was a good example of over-advertising.

I am excited to see the other articles after this one that show sites who use advertising well, and ways to keep advertising unobtrusive.

Unobtrusive advertising would defeat the purpose! It needs to be attractive, meaning catch the viewer's attention and arouse some interest in half a second but it shouldn't be distracting. Big difference. In Firefox, which suppresses pop-ups 99%, there's a feature which deletes anything with a right-click. It gets rid of the flashing, blinking animated ads if I want to read the article in peace.

I agree to a certain extent.. I work with an Seo company and we have recently taken part in a new site something like the million dollar home page. There are some big differences though we dont just have a static ad and we don't pay anything if they don't reach there first 1000 clients. and even then it's only £100 every 2 years, we are already receiving traffic from it and my boss was quite impressed
