no matter how annoying web ads can be in the internet, they will always be there because it is part of the business and the internet as well. without it there would be no jobs and offers and stuff that in a way promotes a certain product or anything with regards to ads.

It's good for Google to have some competition but will these companies be looking at only large established websites? While Google does have a lot of the internet advertising, it is probably one of the easier ones to get in albeit with some confusing things to learn.
