This webpage is free for reading, registering, posting. Also the help, the info, the links, the sympathy you get from other Aidmates is completely free of charge. These adds help Aidpage.com pay for development, server-space, maintenance, etc. Aidpage has no control over these ads. Google is the trustworthy partner in this. This keeps the Internet free4all. Get used to it. I doubt that Google pays enough to take Aidpage.com over their break-even point. As an investor you ought to know these things.

winswheels,
The ads you see on Aidpage are served by Google Adsense. Since Adsense is used on sites like CNN and New York Times, we assume it's OK for Aidpage too.
We don't control what ads are served. As you may know, Adsense serves automatically ads related to the content of the page. We don't select or filter the ads.
By using Adsense, we are independent from the influence of specific advertisers - because we don't have any direct relationships with them.
The Google search box you see on Aidpage gives you results from the Aidpage site only. Google search is the best search you can get for any site. You can make any type of specific search on Aidpage using the Google search box.
Now... why do we have ads on Aidpage? Well, it's the only way we could figure out to finance the operation of Aidpage. We don't use other people's money (investors, taxpayers, foundations, etc.) to make Aidpage possible. We want to make Aidpage a self-sustainable business. We are not "too big to fail" so we don't expect anyone to "bail out" Aidpage if we fail to make it viable.
In fact, anyone can post commercial offers on Aidpage - but only through Google AdWords. That's the legitimate way for advertisers to "participate" on Aidpage. That's how advertisers make Aidpage possible.
If you can come up with a better idea about how to finance Aidpage, we are all ears.
Best,
AidpageTeam
