Advertising is a tradeoff of user experience. You can just have one over the other, not both.

Really? What if the ads are highly relevant to your content? What if the ads appear as a coherent part of your content? Here are a few examples that demonstrate what relevant ads can achieve.

For a popular knit and crochet blog:
Original blog with traditional ads: https://www.sewrella.com/difference-between-knitting-and-crochet/
With relevant ads: https://www.adrelevantis.com/demo/difference-between-knitting-and-crochet.html

For a food blog:
Original recipe with traditional ads: https://thelemonbowl.com/smoky-grilled-pork-chops/
With relevant ads: https://www.adrelevantis.com/demo/smoky-grilled-pork-chops.html

With relevant ads, your pages are destinations that deliver content that people are looking for and show advertising that they – not only won’t object to – but actually, appreciate.
