Thanks for bringing that up. I don't think folks understand what it costs advertisers to have those Google ads at the top of their screen. Aside from the normal stuff I, like other long-time members, try to do here to support users of this site, we have also had an ongoing $250 - $300 a month budget with Google for quite some time. The vast majority of that amount is targeted directly to this site. So as long as it looks like the order volume is being sustained, then we know that the advertising is doing what it should, and the money stays here. We don't do this contingent upon orders, but in advance of them, with the hopes that the money is being well spent. At current, we get very, very few folks who come to our site as a result of the ads here, give us a heads up in this regard. So a note in the order comments that you did so, would go a long way toward helping us know that what we are doing is working out for all involved.
Thanks in advance,
RandyT

This may just be me, but I NEVER click on any banner ads regardless of what is being advertised. But I am more than willing to click a link in a vendor's signature. I think the best advertising for any vendor around here are posts from other people's experiences with certain products and vendors' posts offering support for their products and posts about new products. Knowing that a product will perform in a certain way by reading about other people's experiences will make me more likely to consider that product in the future. The forums themselves are great advertising.
