I finally set up the Google AdSense stuff on this website. I don't really expect to make boatloads of money off these ads, and since they are fairly unintrusive (thankfully Google keeps them sensible and not vulgar), I figured there'd be no harm.

Of course, if you're strongly opposed, please let me know. The proceeds from Google will be used to fight evil and douchebaggery everywhere. Heck, if we get popular enough to make a ton of money, maybe we'll even have an SDSA party on Google, eh? Although I doubt that. Seriously, though, if we do get any sizeable profits, they will be used to cover the costs of operating this website (webhosting fees, domain name fees, etc). And if we actually do end up with a surplus... the sky's the limit!

On top of that, any users visiting this site with Internet Explorer will be given the option to download Firefox! For every Firefox download that we refer, SDSA will also get some dough from Google.

If you're curious about how the Firefox promotion works, basically it's like this:
1. If anyone using Internet Explorer visits our website, they will be seeing a screen like this:



2. At that point, they can either click the button on the left to download Firefox (and by downloading, they help us make moolah), or they simply click the link at the bottom which lets them access the website without having to download Firefox.

This system works by setting a cookie in your web browser, and if the cookie is there, you don't see the Firefox screen. The cookie is set to expire automatically in 7 days (7*24 hours, to be precise), so it's not like you can get rid of it permanently.

Again, if you guys have problems with any of this, feel free to post comments, post in the forums, or PM me.
