Hi Kamilla! First of all, thank you for registering and for posting. We appreciate the support. If you have a moment please visit our "Member Introduction" topic and introduce yourself to everyone. We're always curious where people are from and how they found us.
Topic: http://www.isara.org/foru...troductions/msg29612/#newTo answer your question, we receive money from two different sources. The first is from Google AdSense. You will see their ads in our forum and other places on our site too (webcam, games, etc.). We keep ads off the homepage because we don't want the homepage to be too heavy with ads. It takes away from our message and makes us seem too commercial and corporate. Plus it slows down the load time for the website. BUT there is one very important Google ad on our homepage and that is the Search Box. Each time visitors use that search it helps raise money for our projects.
The second way, is through sponsors who donate depending on how much traffic we receive (or how much they can afford). Right now our sponsors don't want to advertise anything so they're ok with being anonymous. But in the future we will have corporate sponsors who might want to have their name mentioned some where and we'd be more than willing to do that for them.
The most important thing to remember is that each visit helps. We are all volunteers here and if we can get more people, like yourself, to make a small change in their surfing habit, then imagine how much web traffic we can get and then think of how many charity projects we can create.
Thank you again for posting. Hope to see you in the forum more often.
