			== Google ads ==

			I've noticed that AdBrite doesn't really pay out as much as it used to, despite the fact that we still get the same amount of hits, so I was thinking of signing up for Google's AdSense program for the wiki. The cool thing about AdBrite is that it will allow Google AdSense ads to be shown if they cost more than AdBrite's, so the two ad services should (theoretically) work well together.

			I know that Mercifull had issues with Google AdSense, but I'd be willing to try them out.

			I'm also looking into Gorilla Nation, to see if we can use them as well. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 20:37, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
