You're missing the point. Ads might be appropriate for my-awesome-blog.com but not for the UUG Web site. The UUG should look like acm.org not amazon.com Or do you think BYU should add banner ads to byu.edu? Better yet, we could have click throughs added to Route Y! The money could be donated to the library for academic journal subscriptions. Just think, we could really reduce tuition if we started charging a toll to walk on the sidewalks between class.
