serengeti, you could look at this from a different angle and take an alternative point of view.

I wouldn't necessarily take ads for a product or service off a critical review of said product or service. Your review is a matter of opinion, and people will want to seek second opinions, more information etc on the topic.

Just because you have had a bad experience with blue widgets, doesn't mean all blue widgets are c*&p. If you have the opportunity to make some money from the article, I'd be inclined to let people make up their own minds by reading your article then clicking through to an alternative viewpoint given by the ad.
