Podcasts and advertising

I have to admit that I am a fan of podcasts now. I have learned a lot of information from them that I can use to better myself and the business. I watch mostly tech podcasts, which makes sense since I am the CTO.



One of the podcasts recently brought up an interesting question. Advertising. They are considering to put a pre-roll (short "commercial") at the beginning of the show. So I wonder what our customers think about the ads we have recently added to our site. We have always had bowling skyscraper ads on the right side of the page, and recently added other banners.



1) Do they offend you?

2) Do they "turn you off" to our website?

3) Have you been intrigued by any of them enough to click?



I would love to read your thoughts on this topic. Just leave a comment below.
