Advertising Disclosure
We currently do not ask our visitors to make a donation to keep the website going strong. However, we do have ways that benefit us and allow us to continue operating. Think of it the way magazines and newspapers make their living.
One Example: Sponsored Advertising
Business owners contact us and ask to advertise on our website for a
monthly fee. We try to hand pick who is allowed to advertise. If agreed
upon, you may see a banner ad or text link on the top of the page, a
text link or banner in an article or at the bottom of a page, or ads on
the side of our web pages in the form of a banner or text. If you click
on the text ad or banner, you will be taken to the advertiser's website.
Second Example: Ad Choices/Google Ads.
These ads are not hand selected even though we attempt to block certain
ones. Advertisers purchase through Google and when the code is placed
on our website, it pulls from that advertiser pool and display ads.
These ads are on several parts of our website, normally to the left or
right sidebar, top header, or within the article. If you click on the
link, it will take you to the advertiser’s website.
Third Example: Affiliate Advertising
These links are often in the form of links or banners. We also try to
handpick these product or service offers. So for example, we may
recommend a popular counseling service, or web host, or other product
or service that we have personally used or is popular among other
consumers. These ads can also be found throughout the website on the
left or right sidebar, top header, or within an article.
