There's only one reason for ads on any site-revenue. If you have another question, fire away.
Ads are annoying but they pay for the hardware of the site (which is free to you).
too many ads.
the need to put the flashing ads on site is just to earn revenue . earning revenue is important for the company ,so the company just lets ads on their site and in return they get money . its all business
One way is to actually join the site and become a member. Members don't get bombarded by ads. WikiAnswers is a free site, so you don't have to pay to join.
why is their so many job site sponsers that lead you to absolutely no jobs.just a bunch of ads is all you get.
The ads are why the site is free. Get yourself a good adblock. You can also opt out of seeing ads, through your Site Preferences, accessed through your profile page. For that, you have to join the site. Consider this a welcome in advance.
The ads on Wiki Answers pay for the cost of running its website, management, staff, and so forth. If it weren't for ads, we would have to charge you to ask questions. Nobody wants that! It is duly noted that you believe our site, "Sucks". That's OK.
Ads exist for the same reason you don't have to pay a membership fee to join this site. The ads pay for much of the expenses of Answers Corporation and the site. While Answers once used a subscription model, they no longer do, and users can access the answers for free. So they had to go to an advertising model.
Answers Corporation owns this site, not Yahoo! If you create an account here and log in, then you won't see the ads.
For revenue purposes. 1) Get a good ad-block; they're free. 2) Sign up as a member of this site; then you can choose the "no ads" option in your My Settings.
For revenue-if they bother you don't let the script run or join so you don't have to see them.
