Say goodbye to ads and help raise money for your favorite sites with Google Contributor

Ads help keep sites up and running but we’re not exactly fond of being bombarded by them at every turn. Google wants to help Internet users and content creators alike with its new project. Called Contributor, the beta program will let you pay a site between US$1 to $3 a month so you can surf these sites without seeing any Google ads on them. Instead you’ll be greeted by a greyscale pixel pattern or “thank you” messages for supporting the site.

Google has already enlisted the likes of The Onion, Mashable, Science Daily, and Urban Dictionary to try this new project out. We don’t have the specifics yet on how revenue is split between Google and the site. But it really is a good way to help out and support those websites you frequent.
