How to do? Google Contributor provides an answer to this, by allowing users to pay a small monthly fee to remove ads on participating sites .

In other words, by participating in Google Contributor giving from January to March dollars a month, a portion of the money goes directly to the websites you visit is in the Contributor Network. So, when you visit these sites, all Google ads that you see typically display everywhere, now hidden, replaced by pixelated messages that simply say "thank you for being a contributor." Google bills it as a way to "support the people who make the web".


All payment information is managed by your Google account.

Not too bad
While sites will make money, and that users can go boring and sometimes embarrassing commercials, where is the catch? On the one hand this participation is valid only for Google ads , and that, because obviously Google can not force other advertisers to withdraw their own advertisements. In addition, the number of participating sites is currently low - include Urban Dictionary, The Onion, Science Daily, wikiHow, Mashable or imgur.
In other words, and although it is very commendable to spend such a sum for s 'overcome most of online advertising, it is obvious that it can replace extensions that completely mask advertising.

Of course, you can activate AdBlock, which essentially offers the same experience without advertising. So why bother? Well, people still buy music when they can also get it for free, it is interesting to see that Google is testing a way to help readers to support the websites they visit most.

Anyway, Contributor may be the beginning of a new economy for the sites , which has been speculated and experienced, but has never been tested by mass up today
