I also don't agree with the "random blogger" post. Often times the ads can allow smaller bloggers or webdesigners or churches to offset the costs of web hosting. If a church chooses to have ads so they don't have to pay the hosting fees them I'm all for it- it means the money can go to other uses. With portfolio sites - if you are huge and very successful then I could see not needing the ads, but if you are small-time then, once again, the possible offset of costs will help these designers to get additional materials to further their trade - computers/books/personal inet access whatever. Then, once they hit the "bigtime" they'll get another ip for their pfolio. Bloggers, again offset costs- if you are a good enough blogger to have enough of a readership to allow some income then heck yeah- offset that cost and maybe use any other money to get some more stuff/do something to blog about.
