It could be true maybe because a lot of sites just spam you with a lot of trash, so maybe when the user gets to a site with low add space and no pop ups and some i don't know web application containing the ads like amazon's may feel like it's a quality web page.
What i have about this add business is that people don't get that a web page costs a lot to run, like hosting, and the work that the admin does, so they just say oh this guy wants to make money with the site pff putting adds so lame. But without the ads there would not be an internet.

Yes I sure aree with this. When I started making sites and forums, for like about a year and a half from now, I wasn't looking for money, but something to fill my time with. I wasn't even good at it. But than I started learning photoshop and web design and everything went different... Would of I been that interested lately if there weren't any money in the game? I would not-for sure. A good site is like a TV channel, the best content you have, the more commercials you'll get(and in the web business that means more visits=more money). If there wasn't for the advertising, 99% of the sites we know weren't be in here. Advertising actually provides us the good content we get from the Internet every single day, and still, people know so little about it. But as soft as advertising policies get, as more copied and unlegimate content we get! Now that's the bad part, and there are so many 'web applications' which copy the keywords you searched, and they show up at the first page, so an un-experienced user would just search and search before they find what they need. And the spamming has become a real pain in you know where. We just get all these spam e-mails and all.. But we should ignore those, it's just a small price for what the Internet offers us.
And yes, By The Way, Ads do make the Internet!

I think a lot of ads make your site look like an amateur website , or a MFA , and answering the idea that says that website serving ads look legitimate , i know a lot of warez websites that uses Google adsense , wich is against the tos , but they are doing just fine with it.
If you want your site to be legitimate , do this :
1-Put an about us section on your website with contact informations and phone if possible.
2-Don't hide your informations from the whois database.
3-If you can afford an SSL certificate , so this will be better.
4-Try to register your domain name for more then a year * if i see a website selling something , and that website is registered for a year only !! means the webmaster's broke and he'll steal money from me!!!!
i think that's all , good luck guys
