		<description>I took the ads off one site and lost a lot of affiliate revenue.  However, the conversions definitely increased.  We also began accepting American Express credit cards and saw an impact there too.</description>

		<description>I agree with Raffi. You can have a mix of both ads and sales, but you have to know how to do it.</description>

		<description>If you are making money off of ads as well as selling a product it may not necessarily be the wisest thing to do to remove ads.

With one of my clients he decided that he would rather make $0.25 on a customer who is leaving vs. nothing at all.  So we added ads to the product pages and ad money started to trickle in while conversions remained consistent.

This probably has a lot to do with the type of product being sold, and the targeting of your traffic - but it would be worth a test vs. just pulling ads.</description>

		<description>One other good reason to remove ads is improving response time. All data that is displayed is uploaded twice, ones to your advertiser server (Google?) and ones to you customer.
If you have limitations in your uplink, youâ€™re maybe double your render time of the page that is including ads.</description>
