This. Although we pay attention to them because they're mostly job postings. I doubt most publishers can post those kind of ads effectively :)

This didn't fix the "ads" problem as described by the article.

It just improved the implementation to what it should be. Our ad network takes a similar approach and sees great results.

Regardless though, the advertising model itself is completely fine.
