It says that *banner* ads are ignored. Ie the ads that look like ads. The text-based google ones it says are still looked at. Basically it seems people have trained themselves to look for text, and ignore anything else. They know which areas of a page generally have banners and ignore them if they see them there. So basically it means instead of paying for ads, you now should do other things.... like paying bloggers ;) -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth at netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
