BBC.co.uk – now has banner ads!
Dropped in about 26minutes ago on BBC.CO.UK
The beeb have added banner ads for internation visitors, tapping into the onsite advertising market. This site is one of the most popular in the world with an Alexa traffic rank of: 47
This is major news, as readers of the site, and those who watch their tv stations have never been subjected to external advertising. BBC are funded by UK licence payers, and as such those inside the UK will not be able to view the advertisements (30% of total site traffic is from UK)

Why won’t users in the UK see any ads?
Users in the UK fund the BBC through the licence fee, which entitles them to view and listen to all of the BBC’s television, radio and digital services without advertising. The inclusion of advertising on the website when viewed from outside the UK will create revenues which can be used to develop better content and services for both UK and international users.
The same technology that stops me listening to Five Live as well
With only 30.2% of the sites traffic coming from the UK, that lives a huge amount of advertising possibilities…
