Starting in February 2004 we began showing a Google AdSense ad on the
right-hand side of every message page.  This year we were able to
remove that ad for everyone using the site directly.  AdSense only
shows up if you land on a message page after doing a search on a
search engine like Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc.  This has been a real win
because it keeps the ads away from anyone that normally uses the site
and only shows a few ads to drive-by search engine visitors.  This has
been enough to keep the service in the black and to make it a fun side
business for Jeff B and myself.
