I think that all 3 measures would make the ads more obtrusive, annoy the
visitors and miss the entire point of my site, which is non-profit (only
hosting costs to be covered) and Open Source-oriented. I use the site as a
gateway to my research and a productivity tool. That's why I mentioned as
examples sites where no profits imply a failure. Why, for example, would
you provide search facilities that do nothing but eat up traffic?
