[Web-cyradm] Google ads on web-cyram.org -> your opinion

[David Ritchey]

In my opinion, Google's advertising is significantly less intrusive than
what has become the standard for advertising on the web. A small section
with text and relevant ads is a welcome change from flash animations
that take over the screen, and a new animated graphic every paragraph.

I think if you're looking to generate some income to help cover your
expenses, using Google's advertising is an acceptable method of
accomplishing this.

Put the Amazon and PayPal ideas up there too. I don't think negatively
when I visit open source websites that ask for donations, but aren't
expecting them either.
