![]() ![]() "I agree that this dilemma is by no means restricted to Allmusic. So again, I'm sorry that you and others are feeling like we're intentionally sabotaging the entire site but as you say: Options for the future include increasing the number of ads on the page (which hurts our Google rank and makes users walk away), somehow increasing our pageviews (tough to do without paying for advertising), or something more drastic like eliminating ads altogether and putting the site behind a paywall (which would infuriate almost everyone who uses the site and would likely not put us in a better financial situation than we are now). I am not at liberty to turn over our full financial reporting but I will say that we're running as lean as possible on the revenue we make from ads and subscriptions. We're making less revenue from ads and subscription but have not gained back the audience we may have turned away and while our Google ranking is improving, it still has not made up for the loss in revenue. The results have been mixed-to-disappointing. We have actually reduced the number of ads on the page in 2021 (eliminating our 1x1 ad unit that would often place the more aggressive ads that float over top of the content at the bottom of the page and in the left sidebar) in an effort to try to gain back some of the users who may have walked away from AllMusic (and to help improve our Google search engine ranking). ![]()
