Dear folks,
There is something which I really did not like, though I thought I should share my opinion with all the folks using cite HR. As we all know, cite HR is a professional site where all users are professionals or learners. We use this site to get information on HR-related queries, though mostly the site is used during office hours.
I happened to face an embarrassing situation where I opened the site to show something to my junior, but the ads reflecting at the side were not good, and she was ashamed. My query is: how are these ads reflecting on a professional site, and how can we stop this? I don't know how others will react to my post, but personally, I want these ads to be removed from this site, so I raised this issue.

I have changed all ads to text-ads to avoid such situations. The ads are an unfortunate necessity, but members should know that they are not chosen manually - Google provides these ads automatically based on a variety of things.

Thank you, Ravi and Mahavir, for the timely feedback. I too have never come across such ads. The random selection is automated by Google. However, please keep us posted on any such feature that makes it difficult for you.

Dear Members,
To the people who raised their voice: My opinion on this is that CiteHR is a community and a website that requires a lot of funds to function smoothly and maintain the best quality so that we, as users, may benefit the most from it.
Therefore, the only source of revenue is advertisements, which do not significantly increase expenditures but can still contribute something. Thus, there is nothing wrong with that. Alternatively, a paid membership could be introduced, but this might hinder CiteHR's vision of sharing knowledge and providing maximum help.
@ravitashukla: I don't believe that ads on a website should make you feel ashamed.
A newspaper typically contains advertisements that make up almost one-third of its content, and sometimes even more. Do we stop reading it because of this? How can a newspaper, which costs around Rs. 19 including printing and distribution, be delivered to your doorstep for only Rs. 3 or 4?
Moderators & Administrators: Please correct me if I am mistaken.
And I apologize to everyone if something written above is incorrect.

We have recently changed all ads to text-only, which will ensure there are no weird images suddenly showing up.
You are right, Akhilesh. Running a web service like this is quite costly. We are subscribed to the best-in-class servers and caching services, which ensure 100% uptime. So, the ads, as I said, are a necessary evil. I would have loved to run it like Wikipedia (on donations), and we did put up a subscription link a few years back, but only 8 of our most senior members signed up. We eventually closed the fundraising option.
In any case, such images are not going to be an issue going forward as we've changed ALL ads to text-only.

Mr. Roy,
I think it's not the stimulus that makes something right or wrong. It's the response and also the perception. It's a very old disease of India. We do everything but don't want to accept it. I think I am taking the discussion in a different direction; let me stop.
