I know this sounds counter-intuitive, and I'll admit that I don't really know all that much about how Google's ads work. But we all see these ads and think, "Why are these ads on DK?" I know Markos has said before that he does not edit or censor ads that appear on DK, but aren't these ads a bit annoying?
But if I understand it correctly, every time someone clicks on an ad, DK gets money for the click, and the advertiser has to pay money for the click. I see that as a win-win. DK gets money, and the right-wing advertiser has to pay for a wasted page view. I suppose the only downside is that the advertiser can brag about the number of page views his site gets, but then who cares? Those are very expensive page views.
Does anyone see any downside to this?
