No!
I put it there to brighten the place up a bit that’s all, it’s not really there for anything else, so far there’s been a whole 19 clickthroughs on it so not exactly a very effective marketing tool.
The site has limited cabability for advertising TBH and I like it that way. For example, we can have a top banner ad and a couple of side banners and the spattering at the bottom and that’s about it. Of course I could get some funky scripts to do a “buy now” on the reviews amongst other things but I’m not going to do that. TBH there will probably not be any banner ads either, not that they bother me in the slightest, but for the revenue they generate it’s hardly worth the effort. You’ll also notice that the content of the site does not, or will not, contain any advertising at all other than people advertising work as otherwise it annoys the hell outta me never mind anyone else!
This is also the reason that the database is secured, so you guys don’t get spammed by some idiot spares or appliance supplier that thinks he’s a wide boy! 😉
I have said it may come to pass that it’s needed to give *something* to Li for hosting but that’s the only reason for it.
