Do the
advertisements on MRNussbaum.com become annoying?
I think they are; but unfortunately the advertisements
are what monetizes educational sites like this one
and many others. In the absence of grants, government
funding, or corporate sponsorships, displaying the
advertisements keeps the site running by ensuring
a cash flow. The money generated by the advertisements
pays for server costs, development costs, technology
costs, and for the countless hours spent working on
the site. Although you see many corporate ads appear
on the pages of this site, most of those companies
DO NOT directly advertise with me; rather their ads
are delivered to my site by third-party advertising
firms who keep a generous portion of payment as part
of their own fees.
In the
summer of 2008, MrNussbaum.com will begin offering
a package to teachers and schools that includes membership
to the premium site as well as to a new ad-free MrNussbaum.com.
It will be identical to the current MrNussbaum.com,
just without the advertisements. I have not yet determined
the cost of an annual membership, but I believe it
will be in the area of about $60.00-$80.00 per year
per classroom. For this price, subscribers can use
the Premium version of MrNussbaum.com, the ad-free
version of MRNussbaum.com, and download the MrNussbaum
CD-ROM. Due to server constraints, it is possible
that membership to the ad-free version of MrNussbaum.com
will be limited. Check this page if you are interested
in updates. |
