A website I have been checking out a bit lately is called Ask Men.com. I originally stumbled upon this website about 5 years ago and after having a look recently its good to see it is still the same idea, albeit revamped.
The website essentially serves as an online mens magazine with different sections devoted to different topics such as Sports, Gadgets and Dating. Of course it has its fair share of advertising, in fact quite a lot but the content of the site makes up for it.
Advertising
While the site has the standard banner and window advertising, an interesting new twist is mid article advertising. An article could be 3 pages long where you have to link thru between pages. After you click the link you occasionally get taken to a page with a TV ad running! The page does have a link to the article but it can sometimes be off putting when you are halfway thru an article.
Content
One things that is good is the content. The website has hundreds of contributors and over 40,000 articles online which is no mean feat. the majority I have read have been well written. Most srticels though do link thru to the writers products so there is softselling built into most articles.
I would recommend checking out the site: www.askmen.com
