Mike,

I personally do not like banner ads and don't read them and have NEVER
clicked on one. To me they seem to lower the quality of a website which
makes it look like a giant ad. If it would be possible to have them on a
separate page, that would be better, but I doubt many would open a page of
just banner ads.  If I want to order something from the internet, I'll do a
Google search and locate the product that way.

This is just my opinion but of course will go with the flow.

Rich

have the opportunity to participate with you for the 1000th find.

have put a lot of time and energy into the site. It is enjoyed by many from
all over not just from the St. Louis Area.

businesses to raise money? By this, I mean, join an affiliate program in
which we have banners on the website and anyone who clicks the banner, makes
a purchase, results in a small commission. There are thousands of businesses
we can affiliate with and make a few extra dollars if someone purchases
something. All of this is done behind the scenes and we only have to have an
affiliate number and the banner or link on our website.

> Of course, it would not be banner city. We could perhaps even have a
seperate page that has a few banners. I would purchase Items I generally
purchase on the Internet but I would do it through SLAGA so we get the
commission. Items range anywhere from contact lenses to household cleaners
to prescriptions.

there.
