Jim, etal as a reminder, AIS charges an advertising fee for Bulletin
ads and THEN provides free "included" links to each websites on the AIS
Website Commercial links. Those links are only for
paid AIS advertisers. That has been the
Advertising policy for the past several years.
As to other groups, I believe TBIS still charges an extra 50% of the
original ad fee to put the same ad on their website and MIS is providing same as
included in the Advertising fee.

regarding advertising on AIS website
John,
First, I agree with Bob that this is a good motion. Second,
Clarence makes a valid point about charging for such ads. I think your
rationale to get some experience placing picture ads in the rotating
library is wise so I think this trial run should be for one year only.
Then you and AIS can re-assess the situation vis-a-vis charging a fee for such
"advertising."

given some thought to charging to have a photo placed in the rotating

the project to find out if, in fact, all pictures in the library get uniform
exposure (as indicated by a page view count). It would be unfair if photos
that were higher up on the list get more exposure than those lower on the
list.

An
observation: Other web sites charge fees for advertising of the type this
motion would give gratis. Paid advertising in printed media is decreasing
each year, but growing by leaps and bounds on the internet. If I had a new
iris to promote, which I do not, I would gladly pay to have it pictured on
the AIS web page. Clarence
