in Ads in Place on Technosailor
You might want to erase any reference to people clicking on ads. It's against the terms of service of all ad suppliers to encourage readers to click ads - you will get yourself banned from the system if you do. You can mention you have them but a statement like:
'Maybe you’ll click through to some of the ads posted and help me become unbroke.'
could get you in trouble if they find out. Best to play it safe.

in Adsense & Blogs. Ethical? on Elliott Back's Blog
As the owner of the 'bad example' I take your opinion on board - I serve different amounts of ads to different pages on my blogs depending on how helpful I find the ads served to be.
Yes I do have three ads per page, but I position them so that the content is still prominent. Perhaps they are more prominent than yours (although I try to make mine blend in as much as possible) but I think they are middle ground - I know of many sites that have virtually no content at all on most of their pages and the ads take up all the prime space above the fold on pages.
In terms of 'is it ethical to have more than one ad per page'? I'm not sure ethics really come into that question - I think its about personal choice/taste. Why would it be any less ethical to have to ads rather than one?
I'm a little perplexed by your argument to be honest - on one hand you say its ingenuous but on the other you run ads.
My personal feeling is that some blogs are better suited to running ads than others - not just that some have a higher earning potential - but rather that some perhaps some would be more suitable in terms of the ethical stuff.
In answering Zenith - perhaps you should re read Google's terms and conditions. About two months ago they changed them to allow up to three banners per page.
Anyway - just my two cents worth.
