Sorry GoogleAds..there's no room for you here

I recently had the lame idea to try Google Adsense on the site here. I signed up with google and supplied them my blog information. Ads popped up at the top of my blog almost overnight. I didn't like the look of them and how they made this humble blog look, so I've removed the script that makes them appear. If you have similar feelings about Google Ads on your blog, here's the steps to removing them. I took this information directly from the Google site with some minor editing by me.

If you're using a Layouts-enabled blog, simply click the edit link for your AdSense page element, then click the Remove Page Element button.

If you are using a classic template, please follow the steps below:

1. Sign in to your Blogger account at http://www.blogger.com Template tab
2. Click Edit current
3. Locate the AdSense ad code within the template code. The code will be similar to the sample code below:
   
   script type="text/javascript"
   !-- google_ad_client = "pub-0000000000000"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; //-->
   script type="text/javascript" src="%20http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js
   
4. Select and delete this ad code and save your template
5. Republish your blog to see the changes.

I don't plan to run ads on this site in future as I like the idea of keeping things simple. I imagine that blogs are like tv shows. Whenever a commercial ad comes on, I reach for the remote and change the channel until the ad is over. Blogs could be viewed the same way. Ads may be driving people away from some sites. I've seen some that suffer from ad overkill. If you visit enough blogs, you'll know what I'm talking about.
