??? I'm a bit confused here. One of the main reasons I foot the bill here
is because I have been lamblasted for even suggesting the addition of "ads"
on faq.org index pages. (I'm not talking about the FAQ pages themselves,
I'm talking about just the index pages.) I completely understand that and
so honor the authors's requests by not putting ads on index pages for their
faqs. Yahoo and other search engines do a good job of raking in the bucks
doing just that. And why target just one search engine ? Many people don't
yahoo. ;)
