Our webmaster has been tracking traffic on the site. He strongly recommends we sell one or two banner advertisements on the forum only. His rationale is that we have become so large we will soon be changing servers, taking up more room, and costs will rise. He says internet industry standards suggest we should be selling advertising.
We have held strong to the position this site should be informational, only.
I know a number of contributors here have a business and have derived income from clients initiated through our site, we have basically turned our heads. Some participants have advertised in the magazine, some have been in the resource guide. But, a number haven't.
Before we make any decisions, it makes sense to come before this group and humbly ask your opinions. Please, let me have your opinion about advertising on the forum...a banner ad on the left side of the forum page.
Your thoughts?
