Google: You can pay as little as $1 to see fewer ads

You can pay as little as $1 to turn off ads on some of your favorite websites. Google is experimenting with a new service that allows users to see fewer ads on certain websites in exchange for a small monthly fee.

The new service, called Contributor, will give users the option to pay between $1 and $3 a month. So if a website's ads are completely hosted by Google, users who pay the fee won't see a single ad. However, it won't block other ads that the website might have. Websites that have signed up so far include Mashable, the Onion, Imgur, ScienceDaily, wikiHow and Urban Dictionary.
