The ads are below the Reply to Thread box. I think they've been moved. Didn't I see them by the Add to Tracer box yesterday? If you're not replying they are unobtrusive but easy to miss.

After looking at some of the informational pages linked to in some of the early messages, I think we need to think twice about clicking to help raise money, rather than looking at things we might really be interested in. The implication in the articles was that Google thought some sites were generating lots of false drops, so to speak. The advertisers are paying Google to get to people who will spend money with them. If they get lots and lots of hits but no bites they will not be happy with Google who, in turn will not be happy with us or Max. I don't think I saw Max asking us to follow them just for generating income. I bet it might even violate his contract if he did.

I did click on a banjo site & may well go back to make a purchase; that's the kind of traffic Google, the advertisors and, ultimately, Max want.

Let the occasional visitor follow the links to the music or whatever they find. Follow ones that really interest you. Let's us buy from Sandy or Dick even if they do not appear.

I wonder if any of us will be buying ear candles soon?
