Advertising on AlpineZone.com

[Greg]

I'm curious here. I pride myself on having limited advertising on AlpineZone.com. The forums only have one banner ad at the top of the pages; the Home, Skiing, and Hiking sections have the banner and a right-hand content border as described here; and the Lodging and Gear section are self-supported via commission. The site also has no obtrusive pop-up/under ads (which with the new browsers and toolbars are proving ineffective anyway nowadays).

I hope that I've struck a balance with limited, relevant, and unobtrusive advertising which allows me to continue to run AlpineZone free of charge while developing and offering new features and services. Please participate in the poll and provide any relevant feedback in this thread.

No complaints -- seems to strike the right balance with me.

Fine with me too.

We wouldn't have our current FOT48 webhost (nor my personal sites) without me clicking through on a google ad here at the site, so rock on!

I find the ads to be just right. I haven't clicked yet because it seems everytime I happen to look at the ad, it's for a ski resort and I don't ski. Right now the ad is for N'east magazine - Just what I don't need, another magazine in the house. I have ordered from Altrec however.
