Changed Adverts
I removed the Google Adsense advertisements because I realised that I had not read the Adsense Terms of Service properly. It states that Adsense adverts are not to be shown on pages with video. Since I wouldn’t want to get banned by Adsense, I removed the ads and replaced them with Clicksor.
But I find Clicksor’s contextual advertising (i.e. the underlining and linking of words in my posts) very irritating, but I don’t think they can be removed. I really need to find a more suitable advertising system to finance the downloads server. Darn.
But at least now, there will only be one banner advert at the top since Clicksor permits only 1 advert per page.

I believe that it forbids video on that page. That is, if the page contains embedded video, then the ads can’t be used, but it’s fine if you link to a page with embedded video. I’ll reread the ToS later to check, but you should be okay. I think.

Thanks for the hlp Elyscape. But I think even linking to video doesn’t cut it. So, since I have a number of other non-video-providing sites using Adsense, I rather not take the risk. But I really dislike the contextual advertising that Clicksor uses. It has already invaded my sidebar!!!
