I am posting this rant, yes it is just that, an opinion, but I wonder how many share this thought. I really am annoyed when Kroger pops up an add on a fake stained glass pattern website that has nothing but links to other products and link backs to additional supportive webpages to trick google. I find it deceitful. I wont run google adds, even if i have to go out of business.  They are ugly, intrusive, and cater to a clientele that does not have the viewers “experience” in mind. I do try to keep my websites clean, easy to navigate, and tell you exactly what you will get when you make a purchase.  Please understand that for me, anyone who runs a stained glass website, ought by default, just to be a little concerned with their credibility as an artist…. Look below… I gladly hold my three sites up against any of the others listed. regarding appearance and ease of use…. it may not get me much in terms of click-through dollars (in fact NILL, ZILCH, NADA, OUGHT, ZERO) but it is not google-add-ugly or ludicrously link heavy  Mine are the top three.
