- As you may see from the Google ads running on the right side column of this web site, most of these ads are well targetted, quite on-topic. From what we have seen, a majority (if not all) of the ads being displayed at this website are Public Service Ads (PSA), but it may include regular ads from time to time. Neither do those PSAs cost any thing to the advertisers (non-profit organizations), nor do they generate any revenue for the websites (like this website) that publish them.
Google supports those non-profit organizations by deliverying these PSAs for free, and the sites like ours do our part of community service by allowing Google to display these PSAs on our sites pro bono.
