I got to do a little reorganizing today since my downloads folder was getting extremely disorganized and crazy.
I cleaned up the hierarchy levels a great deal and simplified several levels, so overall it was a successful clean up.
Most links that were updated were various download links to Opera skins, widgets and other Opera related downloads.
However, please let me know if you come across a broken link. I did my best to update all links to files that were changed, however, as I am human I am prone to error.
They aren’t really that obtrusive, but they are a little annoying after a little while. I mean, you’re there to watch the video right? Not to have it partially cut off by an advertisement that you couldn’t care less about.
Unfortunately it seems as though the Internet is turning to ads more and more for videos and radio. Recently Pandora began streaming advertisements on their radio channels which were once pure music.
Obviously they must find a profitable strategy, but it’s sad to see that the Internet’s advertising is now worse than television advertising.
Personally, I’ve made an effort to keep all of my websites advertising free. I believe in clean and clear designs and that leaves no room for advertisements. They not only seem to hurt visitor counts and hits, but also destroy the overall appearance of your site.
Hopefully a cleaner alternative will find it’s way into our Internet in the near future. If not then we can always rely on our browser ad blockers.
