Those are the best ads I have ever seen! That was a very very good choice putting those on this site

How do they work? I even saw a Dutch add !?

It's actually a very neat system. Google dyanmicly analyzes the page the ad is on and the user header information to serve relevant ads. Unfortunately they aren't bringing in much money so I may switch to another provider.

Well, greg, please please use a ad server like google that just does text ads instead of picture banners. No only would that give us the old bandwidth problems again, but that it takes forever to load, and is pretty distracting...

What about hundreds of pop unders/over ads and some neat flashy flash animations that scream buy me.

hmm, i wouldn't mind :wink:

[edit] Also, what about selling our email addresses to spammers. And maybe including some advertisements in the monthly newsletter.

I can't get enough advertisments.
