advertising on winehq

[Tom Wickline]

Hello,

May I ask what you guys think about us starting to run some google ads
on winehq ?
With free software there are limited ways for a project to take in
revenue and the two most common ways are by donations and running
advertisements on a site.

I don't in any way suggest we should become a flashing flash based
site with obnoxious pop-ups and the likes. But I do believe we should
however look into running small user friendly adverts from well
respected companies such as google.

And of course any money generated should go to the wpf to help support
future wine confs.

Comments?

I think Google would probably display some nice advertisements for merlot.

Hmm, I wonder how many people mistakenly visit our front page looking for Wine ?

winehq is the second result for "wine" in google. We can even increase
this if we would be a bit more creative when thinking up new variable
names in the code :-)

I don't know the original reason, but adding the "hq" helps me a lot
to narrow down the google results to the only wine I like.
