The consultancy asks
Our site is paid for thanks to click through advertising and it would appear to be the only way for most sites to make money. In any other walk of life other than the internet would we accept the intrusion that this causes?
Provide common sense...
About us
We are experts in all matters of life. You may consult us on any topic. On some matters, that we consider trivial or uninteresting, we may provide a short, even terse response to your query; in others, where the fancy takes us, we may pontificate at length providing an extensive discussion of the issue from which we shall draw appropriate conclusions. The choice is ours, after all, we know best.
Past sense

Just of note. The adverts we have out in the real world has so far been shown to over 1800 people and to date not a single person has clicked through to the site. Two people have seen the advert and circumvented the advert to find the site thus saving us 4p - well done to them.
Common sense would be to ignore the adverts (except on our site ofcourse) as they are just trying to divert your attention from where you want to be!

On the subject of advertising, it appears we have a click ad for disasters:
Disaster Kit
Disaster Kit Info. Fast & Easy
I do not think we should have adverts for disasters on a coomon sense web site.

I’ll stick with the water into wine one. Which is reasonably easy if you water a grape plant

Some of the ads are getting a bit wacky. International charities ? adopt a child ? I do wonder how well googles word matching really works.
Still, not complaining if they make the site break even.
