if you're trying to pull in ad dollars from your portfolio, i'd say you're not doing the design well enough

I really doubt any designer is getting enough hits to make $ off ads

you would have to be getting 1000s of visits a day to make it worth while and then you wouldn't get any normal work because of them.

unless you design porn i just can't see how you'd get enough traffic to make it remotely worthwhile.
also, if you are getting enough traffic to make ads work, then the question has to be asked, why aren't there enough conversions from traffic to client?

The last thing I expect/want to see in a portfolio site. You're introducing an element of which you have no design control onto a page designed to entice potential employers/customers.

- I think were all denying that it's just a tacky thing to do._salisae_
- Trying to cover it up with practical reasons instead. I definitely don't think it's a good idea outside of neue's ad space venture._salisae_
- if that's tacky i don't want to not be tacky.airey
- it's shambolic! and perhaps just a matter of bad taste._salisae_
- or pure desperation_salisae_
- or maybe a cause someone supports -- like life insurance. I mean who doesn't feel a life isn't good enough to be insured?_salisae_
- insured.
i'm rambling here_salisae_ - you're definitely back-peddling like a gold medalist.airey
