Ads on Team Website

[RyanCahoon]

As [David] said, usually teams prefer to seek sponsorships, and let any ad space on their websites be used for recognition thereof. The thing about syndicated ads is usually you get paid per view, and so unless you have a very strong viewership, I doubt you'll get much revenue (even the most popular teams probably only get a few hundred hits a month, Chief Delphi not included). It becomes a question as to whether it's worth giving up the screen real estate.

The other aspect, as this quote alludes to, is that FIRST teams are supposed to present a professional image to others, so if your site has too many ads, you may not be representing FIRST well to people, organizations, companies (potential sponsors ) that may be visiting your site.
