Why do corporate websites not have advertisements?

A group of us had a small get together and started discussing about the future of online advertising. It’s great how Google has monopolized the online market and considerably push the opportunities you could get from online advertising.

While discussing about the types of advertisers that now exist from the Adsense type model to the ones like Chitika, we also started debating and questioning each other why we think not all corporate websites have hosted advertisements on their websites.

After all, it would make a lot of extra income for them, right?

In the discussion, I contributed that the main reason you don’t see all corporate websites have ads is because they’d like to keep their professionalism. However, this is only a personal assumption and not from the words of the corporate website owner themselves.

One of us still insisted that if the ads could bring in a revenue of RM10,000 a year then won’t the corporate website owners be interested in putting ads on their website. As much as I’d agree with the greed of the common human being, there still are the principles and practices of professionalism in a person.

Then, another friend said that corporate websites like Lelong, MOL, and eBay are definetely getting heaps of money from ads. Well, I do as well agree but then I replied if this were the case then it depends if the type of website would actually befitting for ads.

The whole conversation that could’ve lasted more than 3 cups of drinks had to end for me. I don’t think they came to a conclusion yesterday. That’s why I’d like to ask the opinions or reasons you might have.

Why do corporate website not have advertisements if there’s an opportunity to earn an extra RM10,000 a year from it?
