Subject: [NYGEN] Ads on all Rootsweb based sites
From the State Coordinator's list via the National Coordinator - relavent
info -
"Ancestry is now placing marketing ads on RW sites. Instead of the banners
they used previously..." - the National Coordinator
and
"The placing of ads has been discussed on the Freepages help list with the
Ann Mitchell who is currently running RootsWeb, and Ancestry's decision has
been that they are putting on ads in order to pay for the free server
space. So
far, there hasn't been much reaction from Freepages users, except the few
who have commented have said they understand." - one of the SCs.
A sample of ads found:
Etrade,
hopjump.com, Kellogg's, MyConverter Hub, Thomson Reuters, Walmart,
Best Western, JCP, Canon BioMedical, 23 and Me, Quick Maps & Directions
(this might be Google), Sunovion, Shutterstock, Retail Me Not, Intelius,
Squarespace, Hilton, DiscoveryAncestry,
Kaspersky, Caribe Royale, Otezia, Everquote,
Searchquarry.com, Pods, Kraft
singles, Fold3,
Disney,
Newspapers.com, Roson Hotel & Resorts.
If you would prefer your site for genealogy for your county not sport ads
for non-genealogy related products, you may wish to move your site to
another server. NYGenWeb has free hosting available, the National
Coordinator has free space available here -
http://www.usgenwebsites.org/ or
you may host your site wherever you wish.
I'm still plodding along with my websites moving them page by page,
changing links as I go. Please let me know if you would like to move your
site to
nygenweb.net or if you decide to move your site elsewhere.
Thanks,
Tim Stowell
ASC NYGenWeb
