Then start by removing them. Really. This will get you more subscribers, and
that will be one thing less your are not allowed to talk about, which is always a good thing for a reporter.

Providing a ad-free website to subscribers would also increase the number

It is doubtful that it will get more subscribers. Most people who are freeloading off of the site will free-load with our without ads. Having talked to several 'free-loaders' over the last year.. they are always going to get around to it... but never do. Ads have never been an issue with any of the 20 or so people I talked to.
