What would it cost to get rid of the blogads Fred ?

No offence , but they hinder loading time et al , and are just downright utter crap :P

Ad free is the only way to go (my opinion)

#1  A gentle suggestion: we give basic demographic info to Fred (postal codes, age, income, profession, marital status, maybe 3-4 product categories of high interest eg autos cameras travel investments), and Fred shops his audience to niche vendors looking to deliver targeted ads on a fee-for-performance basis to a highly educated, higher-than-average income, highly loyal online audience. The hit rate would be an order of magnitude, maybe two, higher than with Google Ads or other such crap.

I for one would glkadly submit my demographic profile to help Fred out. A lot more lucrative than a tip jar.
