Not at all. To quote the Mystic Knights of yore... <blockquote>"There's nothing wrong with Capitalism There's nothing wrong with free enterprise Don't try to make me feel guilty I'm so tired of hearing you cry"</blockquote> ;-) But seriously, whoever said profitability couldn't be green? Besides, it's not like we're actually making any real money here. We provide links about places we've visited and to relative websites both as a service to our readers and to boost our friendliness with Google ranking algorithms. We choose to display he Amazon ads we do because we found these books and products helpful. We don't have as much control over the Google ads that run, but they are determined by relative content, keywords, and links found on that page. Now I signed an agreement with Google stating that I would not entice people to click on my ads, so I can't really address that question... but there is no minimum limit, or maximum! Google ads only require a click, but Amazon ads require a purchase for us to actually see the few cents we get. As far as being open to links, why of course! You just sent one. And we're open to anything on this crazy adventure. At Odds!?!?! Not at all. To quote the Mystic Knights of yore…

I'm happy to help. Is there a minimum limit we have to view the site, or buy something? Or is the mere click itself enough to generate the pennies to start rolling your way?

I know you aren't necessarily recommending each item but do you find yourself at odds with your philosophy at times of going green/sustainable/etc..? Your 'resources' page is great! I'm thinking of your bio-diesel thoughts and then a link to the "Intruder" motorhome.. Don't mean to get too esoteric here, but just mission-curious? Open to any links your readers supply you by email for incursion? I know, I know..nothing heavy, just engaging...oh, and I clicked on each of the amazon books at the right..lunch on me for jerry with the profits.... anyone going to sol-fest this year? http://www.solarliving.org/display.asp?catid=17 take care...
