Stan, I know you wanted to keep the forums add-free, but if you are interested, I can set up Google advertising on the forums with the advertising being geared towards football, fantasy football and whatever else the bots crawl and snag on the forums site. What they snag for the advertising is basically whatever the subject matter is from the forums. Then each time someone clicks on an advertising link, you can generate revenue off of Google's Adsense program. Just a suggestion.

That's another voice Stan. And it's on the forums page, not the main product. This could offset the adwords cost of our advertising.

Rockey, how does this work in conjunction with the EFS site?

[paladisiac]

There are no google ads placed on our site anywhere, including the forums. The ads are shown either in Google proper or their Ad network. The Ads link back to www.efsports.com (http://www.efsports.com/). There is no other association.

[EDIT: searching on "fantasy football" now brings up our Ad on the FIRST page of search results! Please don't click it though -- that costs us money.]

Please don't click on the links, but our Ad is now placing #1 on the first page of search results for "fantasy football". :)
