Generally most of the people think that the ads can affect user experience. But this is not true because ads help users to reaching their products they need. Ads are not a problem but how the ads are shown to the viewers can be troublesome. Ads cannot spoil user experience if they are shown in a right way on the website.

Label Ads on Your Website
Label your ads as “advertisement” or “sponsored” so that the users can distinguish between ads and website content. This will not affect user experience and maintain trust between user and publisher.
Quantity of Ads
Publisher should maintain balance between ads and content. If website have more ads than content then it will definitely be irritating for users. Website content is the value, publishers provide to the users and revenue from the ads are what publishers get in return for the provided value. But this does not mean you should reduce the number of ads, instead you can balance the ads and content on your website for best user experience.
Implement Frequency Capping
If a user is not interested in an ad, don’t show him the ad again and again. Same ad showing again and again can affect user experience. Implement frequency capping to avoid showing the same ad again and again to a user.
