Please understand I am trying very hard to maintain a reason to keep Astronomy Net online. Until recently, it has been love. However, due to high growth, love does not pay for increasing server space and faster internet connectivity.

The high bandwidth and large storage requirements of this site prevent its move to most providers. So I maintain my own servers and lease space in other's computer rooms. This all costs money (not much, but more than a little).

So understand when I make attempts at selling keywords or banner ads, I am not try to get rich, rather, I am trying to not get poorer.

Don't worry about this being successful though as Astronomy Company advertising budgets are amoung the tightest I have ever seen in my life.
