I don't think of it as pepsi having ads for coke, more like a free blog having advertising for the wall street journal or nyt.

I agree with Greenie and if I had a free 'news' blog, I would not drive traffic away from it to the NY Times or WSJ (unless I was using them as my direct news source). So I would say that's equally misguided. And by the way, NY Times and WSJ do not charge for online memberships so again, the example doesn't apply the way advertising AdultFF does. I would just say that most of us who have looked at your site don't get it and arguing with those of us who don't get it isn't the answer since you can't argue with the average surfer. So if we don't get it, no one else is just going to 'magically' get it.... just something to consider... I "get" craigslist personals. It's straightforward and upfront and there are zero ads....
