I don't mind at all. I think the google ads work mostly on people who wind up here via a search and not regular readers. You’re not stealing. I don’t mind at all.

Evidently not everyone uses Firefox with Adblock and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filterset.G" rel="nofollow">Filterset.G</a>, because I know of at least one blogger who makes plenty on the people who visit her site and click on her google ads without being asked. Sorry, Uncle and Countertop, for "stealing" your content w/o the ads. I just hope my comments somewhat make up for that. Normally I’d say something like “ads? what ads?” but that would be snarky.

Their customers are happy because they get the eyeball traffic, and Google is happy because without asking your readers to check out the Google Ads no one (not a one) is going to actually click on them. Sounds like a crappy deal to me. What does Google do if you ask your readers to visit their ads? So basically Google wants to run their ads on your space for free.

I asked my readers to click on the American Hunters and Shooters Association and took in almost $30 as a result. I noticed though, that I haven't seen an ad for them since Saturday.
