Tim O'Reilly is Not Evil

You may not always agree with the man, as I did not regarding a contest they had that only let in 'Mericans living in the lower 48 states. But they corrected that when it was pointed out.

But the O'Reilly family of sites is being taken to task for some of the advertising therein. Mr. O'Reilly has a longish post and getting longer series of comments on the subject.

I think the conversation that has started on the subject is an important one because it affects how well Google searches perform (understanding that "well" is a relative term). What is the right way to advertise, given that advertising pays the bills for many sites, is a difficult question. But at least Mr. O'Reilly understands the questions to ask. If you have the time, go read his post and the comments to it.

Aloha!

Bha, as long as adds don't interupt or hinder the reading of the content on a site I don't mind.
