| adders.org - Advertising |
In a perfect world we would have a website free of all advertising banners and for a long time we did. The sad fact of life is, however, that in order to maintain a website providing information and free software downloads to over 6,000 visitors (125,000+ hits) a day with a daily transfer of nearly 6 Gigabytes of data, it costs money.
We used to be able to cover all the costs from our own pocket and still do to a certain extent but now advertising helps towards the costs of not only running this website but also helping our own local ADD/ADHD non profit support group, Thanet ADDers here in Kent, England.
All of the advertising revenue, which isn't a huge amount by any means, goes towards the costs of running this website, our 24 hour telephone helpline in the UK, sending out our quarterly newsletter to our local members, constant campaigning for the rights of ADDers in the UK, organising local talks, stocking our lending library and lots more. We would like to do even more, such as, proper printed leaflets for all local surgeries, clinics and pharmacies in our area, restart our weekly Youth Group in proper premises with trained helpers, run a summer camp, the list is endless.
Advertising banners are located at the top of most pages, as seen above. Our advertising agent is Google Adsense, plus we are an affiliate of Ask Jeeves, hence the search engine boxes. We are also affiliates of Amazon.com and co.uk and the small amount of commission earned on the sale of books is paid in Gift Certificates which we use to buy books for our lending library of ADD/ADHD titles. We are not however, affiliates of any of the Natural Remedy producers shown on our site, or any other product you might see us mention.
to contact me about placing your advertising banner on specific single or multiple pages of this site. Basic terms are $10 per 1,000 impressions but this can be open to negotiation.
If you would like to help our non profit charity, then by all means visit our sponsors or make a donation, we would be grateful if you did but there is certainly no obligation for you to do so. You could also make a donation and receive a copy of the CD of all our free software available on this site. Click here for details.
