How do you Remove ads from Geocities?

August 18, 2006 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials · 3 Comments 

Ever since Google made their Google Pages to the public, it really makes me wonder why in the world would anyone want to use Geocities anymore. Perhaps its about time Yahoo do away with the sidebar ads and let the user decide if they want to have ads display on their website or not in exchange for a small profit, just like what Google is doing with Blogspot, its a win win situation.

Anyway, if you happen to have this old Geocities site hanging around and don’t want to lose the URL because of the amount of traffic, try removing the ads from Geocities with this tutorial. It really works, why would you want to do that? Simple, that is because Google Adsense don’t allow any other contextual advertising other than adsense on a site, so technically speaking the YPN ads on the sidebar of every Geocities is against adsense policy.

Each site is different, and each publisher has different goals,” Margaret notes. “Publishers should experiment with different placement, layouts, Reporting Categories and Ad Targeting combinations to achieve the best outcome.

I guess the biggest difference is if you are a first-time visitor to a site or a regular reader. First-time visitors have to scan everything for navigation, I would say that if you have lots of first time visitor, the above ads placement would work very well.
