I'm sure we have all noticed the Dragon Age ad on Bitmob today. I doubt you could miss it. I'm sure that Dragon Age is a fine game and i'm sure that Bitmob is in need of money to fund it's adventures in website hood. Still....oww. This ad hurt me more then the chick sunning her tits. At least that one was small.
It's irrational to worry about. I know that Bitmob needs to advertise and I know they must have made some scratch off of this but....it looks like other gaming websites. Personally I come to Bitmob and set it as my homepage partially because Bitmob doesn't look like other gaming websites that are assaulting my eyes non stop in an attempt to get at my juicy wallet.
Weather or not it's rational to think this way and weather or not it's fair to Bitmob this use of ad space has negatively impacted my enjoyment of the site. So I toss it over to the other Bitmobbers. What's your opinion? In the cuthroat world of internet ads how much is too much? Does the white space at the borders of the site represent peace of mind to your constantly assaulted consumer brain or is the hot blogging at the center all you care about?
