Check out what Google thinks about any adverts on your website or blog

Google is getting increasingly concerned about the number of people who are using ad blockers because of annoying and intrusive adverts which disrupt or destroy ur viewing pleasure.

Which when you're looking at an art website is precisely what the experience should be - viewing pleasure!

The reality is that

• some of us do use adverts on out blogs or websites (e.g. for art supplies we recommend or art books).
• I use AdSense and Amazon associates (for books) on this website to help defray the costs of running it. (It's not cheap!)
• However we might not always realise we are using adverts. 

The important thing is not to use adverts which annoy people like me - because I'm one of the 69% of people who HATE music blaring out at me or things which pop up and hide what i'm trying to read - and consequently sue ad blockers.

According to a Google Video released last month "Introduction to the Ad Experience Report" there is a way for you to check out how your website rates in terms of ad experience. If there's a problem you get told what it is and how you can address it.

You can watch the video below.
