For most people, online ads are just a part of the online experience. They're there, whether you like them or not. But what if you could go online and not see any ads? No pop-ups. No banners. Just the content YOU choose to see. Would you like it? Would you still like it if you had to pay to have the ads removed? Well, one-third of us (33%) would be willing to pay to get rid of online advertising. Could this be a new revenue stream for sites that host ads? Maybe. But for sites that sell pay-per-click advertising, the loss of eyes could neutralize the new revenue and keep the balance sheet just where it was.
