Or maybe not. This seems to reflect the common assumption that one should do everything possible to keep your visitors/customers away from information about competitive products or services. I don't agree. I think potential customers are just as likely to see competitive ads on your site as a measure of the confidence you have in your own services or products. Put another way, it's a bit like saying, "go ahead - compare me to the rest - I'm pretty confident you'll decide I am better and come back to me anyway".
