Earlier I made a blog post here introducing you to the mind blowing design John Chow com got himself. A few corrections. Nate Whitehill, who has the 600$ pricing under John’s custom design banner in fact provided him with a free design. Yep, he made all this hard custom job for him, and what did he get? Not much except that the whole internet is talking about him, link on John Chow’s footer and traffic. That’s all, really, no hidden fees.
The new design also turns John Chow dot com into a John Chow dot ads. Take a look at this screenshot I took, highlighted are the ads. While most people say and believe that placing an 250*250 Adsense rectangular inside the post is way too much, with the new design you have to pass a few circles of ads and affiliate banners before you even get to see that 250*250 banner, and after all you had seen on the header and sidebar, it doesn’t even look big at all. I didn’t highlight the inline ads (sorry, being lazy and all), but in fact what we could have called a content, also has a rather big ration of sponsored material — sponsored posts via ReviewMe, and in the so-to-speak “regular” posts — inline ads. Bottom line is, every word and every pixel makes money.
Only the question is… are there not too many pixels making money..?

Is there such a thing as too many ads? In this case…I think so.
