Ads are awesome! The companies have money, and they are more than ready to put up a huge amount to market their products.

If, or when, steem is ready to sell adspace through steem, it will surely skyrocket the currency itself, and steemians can benefit from it.
It all seems so nice and good, but is it?
Of, course no. The potential is there, and with it comes the monetary benefit. But huge companies just do not buy adspace for nothing. Getting ads from huge companies (golden ads i call them) depends on the traffic a website has and the content of the website is also taken into account. More over the payout from golden ads also depends on "impressions", for how long does a user stay on the advertisement after clicking on it.

All in all, ads on steemit currently looks very profitable and a golden opportunity.
and as you mentioned, at the moment its for non-signed up visitors, which is absolutely pleasant for steemians...coz everybody hates ads lol

I wonder will ads somehow force to filter the type of content that goes around on here?
