if they are just as bad as Gator itself is. My point is that in most cases the ads simply aren't going to get clicked, so they don't really support Ed's site at all. And in this case, two of the ads are for known spyware, and a third one is suspicious. If they get clicked by someone niaive enough (which is admittedly unlikely with Ed's general readership, but still possible) it might help suppor the site, but at what cost?
