Common sense is putting ads up. Not common is the idea of having businesses pay to have their profiles be clear of ads — even for guests. It’s a bit of user-experience blackmail that I suspect will become common over the next year. A great idea!

GS is o.k., but I already find it cluttered and confusing. Slapping ads all over it is going to make it worse. Plus, I think it makes it look cheap.

@Czaries: You are right, putting ads on a site is usually considered common sense. I just thought that they implemented them really well.

It’s funny… In this ad-free “web 2.0″ world people are like… “Wow! Great idea!” when a company puts ads on their website to start making money. It used to be called common sense and business as usual.

That is a brilliant idea! Get Satisfaction made a great marketing decision by placing those ads.
