Listen, i made the website to help General Aviation, i started it about
one month ago, and my purpose was to infrom students that they did have a choice when it came to finding an instructor, or a school for that matter (part 61 or 141). The ads are just there as a mean to make a little bit of money (CTR is bad regardless). AOPA has been charging all the pilots for open source information. I will never because an AOPA member, they can send me all the emails and direct mail they want, they will never get my money. I am just trying to organize the aviation infomation bacause i feel that i need to, i will give you some examples. Landings.com is a great site, but man that site is a mess, how can i ever find some with all the ads, and horrible text format. AOPA is a good site, but like i said they charge ppl for information. Aviations Jobs - when was that last time you came across a job site that didn't charge you to become a member. The Aviation Industry is draining us pilots, charging for everything and anything, and then they pay us crap. I think that BS. An instructor getting paid $9HR. What is that. An airline pilot making $28,000 a yr if that. This instructries is Fu*ked up, and i am going to do everything i can to make it better. Human Knowledge belongs to the world. So if you would like to be a part of this, please feel free to email me. If you think i should remove the ads, i will. |

The problem isn't the ads per se. They are simply the underlying motive that shows why you felt a need to lie about the nature of your relationship to the web site. The real problem is that you lied about the nature of your relationship to the web site. Writing articles takes time. Making them available on a web site costs money (even if it's only a small amount). More power to the blogger who can defray his costs by including unobtrusive ads in their web site. I've got nothing against that. Had you posted something like "I've written some articles in my blog that I think would be of interest to you all, here's the link", that would've been okay, even with the ads (especially if you acknowledged the web site is ad-supported). But the moment you misrepresent the true nature of the site, you've crossed the line to unacceptable behavior. Pete |

Pete OK, i'm not gonna lie, you are right and i agree with you 100%, so i would like to apologize to the group. Yes this is my website (blog), yes its about aviation and flight training, and yes it is ad supported. Some article were written by me, others were submited. Yes i do think that they are interesting, and yes i think you should read them. Thank you for viewing my articles and site. |

Your site would look much better if it weren't the standard WordPress
template a billion other sites use. How about some originality in designed? (and writing too for that matter) Ray wrote: Peter Duniho wrote: wrote in message ups.com...
