Also, John, do you click on each and every banner ad you come across, to go the websites of the companies that are advertising? It is not uncommon for hosting companies to be paid not only for putting up ads on websites, but also to be paid a few cents for every click on a banner ad.Actually, I often do. If I find a site useful, and want it to survive as a free site, I always click on an ad when leaving. I may shut all my browser windows as soon as they open, but I figure the longer I keep doing that, the longer the site will stay free. Driver sites, sites for Palms/PocketPCs, etc that provide downloads have high bandwidth requirements, so I figure if someone else is going to pay advertising to keep it there, I'll encourage them...
