My reasons for targetting the seach engines is because that where many
people go looking for information. And when they look, they should
find our FAQS. :-) If faqs.org isn't as comprehensive as the web
search engines, it won't become a primary search site - it needs to be
linked into the broad search engines.

I think the issue of advertising is orthgonal to this.
