Google Ads...

Hey everyone,
Would you all mind if I added google ads to the site? There's reasons behind it other than what you might think they'd be here for (PM me and I'll let you know). But also to help with hosting costs. The ads will be small, NO pop-ups (EVER, that's a vow and policy I hold myself to is to make sure I NEVER had ads that are annoying EVER), just a little banner that will go between the menu items and the ':: Home :: Profile :: You have no new messages :: ' bar. They'll be text ads with no images, so they won't make site loading time slower. Not only that, but if you all haven't seen google ads, they only show the ads that have to do with the content on the page. So if it's a thread on XD P-51 items, it'll show deals on XD ads and P-51 ads (in theory).
What do you all think?

Interesting... If it helps you with the costs of maintaining this worthy XD fansite, then I'm for it. Don't make it look too tacky, however!

They would be text based only, and never images. They load instantly. Example for those curious (the ones I'd put on here would be horizontal, though, and have only 2 or 3 ads) - http://www.warbird-photos.com/menu.php

Okay, added the ads. I'm trying to get them a bit more targeted to military and not phpBB forum stuff. This might take some time, but it'll kick in.
