People misunderstand the word FREE when it comes to websites - there is no such thing as FREE - someone has to pay for the server. As a website owner myself (multiple Genealogy sites) I would KILL to have software like that to help generate some revenue for the sites.

When Im not DODing, or at school, Im transcribing records for the sites and doing general upkeep. The cost for my own server, domain fees, etc. - not to even mention my time - is outrageously high for someone who is doing it for FREE. I didnt really care for the ads at first BUT I understood why they were there. (I dont even like ads at my Free Genealogy sites BUT I need them there)

Did I mention those tiny ads dont pay squat when it comes to the bills I get for everything? (about $120 a year from Amazon.com - the server bill is over $1000 a year)

If keeping ads on DOD is what it takes to keep it free, then bring them on - But PLEASE NO POP UPS - I HATE Those things LOL...

Uh, Where's my free software for my site HINT HINT? <grin>
