Oi, Geoffrey. You've got to snap out of it;) Tax ads? or get rid of them? They're useless, anyway. Speak with any kid who works the ad development section in any web traffic department at any e-firm, and they'll tell you that they are either (1) bored to death, because measured impressions (screen views) are down to all time lows and they can't get returns on their work, or (2) due to (1), above, those who still have jobs are fearing pink slips. Usually both. Don't tax banner ads... get rid of them entirely, because they are a dismal failure from a revenue producing standpoint and, like you note, they clog the bitways. But don't bet on the demise of banner ads anytime soon. They're already embedded in the model. In any event, I suspect that many of the items you'd declare taxable in your post will become directly billable items soon enough, as these lofty ad (and other) subsidy schemes finish burning off the last of the cash reserves and credit lines that some of these firms glommed from unwitting investors and creditors. New Economy? My Arse!
