How do you feel about putting ads in an online store? I'm worried it might come off as unprofessional, because the customers will wonder why the company needs to advertise if they have a quality product-focused business. Do you ever put ads on your e-commerce stores? What do you think when you see ads on one?

If the ad is relevant I would consider ad on merit, the ad is not for advertisement only it can be used for branding as well assuming particular product you are talking hold good brand.

It looks appropriate to me if the ads complement your products. But if they compete with your products or services, it is like you're killing your own business.

I think most adds on e-commerce stores are nothing more than a huge traffic leak. If you are running adsense and your store sells sports memorabilia, chances are adsense is running ads for other sports memorabilia stores on your site. Someone clicks one and you lose out on a potential sale.

In an ideal set up, you can earn three ways. One is you get sales from your own products or services. Another earning source is your Google Adsense click. The third way is you earn from sales from Google Adsense ads which happens to be your ads.

Well, it's mostly depends whether the ads is compatible with your site or not...

Go figure, you don'e even want some ads that will become a tight competitors for the services/products that you might want to sell here, right? If you still insists to do it, then you're inviting the disaster to your own site...
