And Laguna, I highly suggest you sign up to a redirect URL provider, preferably
http://www.v3.com/" TARGET=_blank>v3.com . What it does just provide you with a redirector, and the URLs are very small. My URL for my real page is
http://members.nbci.com/dry_ice_co2/" TARGET=_blank>
http://members.nbci.com/dry_ice_co2/ , but my redirector URL is
http://go.to/dry_ice_co2/" TARGET=_blank>
http://go.to/dry_ice_co2/ .
This especially comes in handy when you're on a site that hosts your page under three or more subdirectories (like Geocities used to do).
The main reason I use it is because my site has some questionable content, such as links to porn sites, links to emulators, lots of swearing, and other stuff like that. Which means that when the admins go searching for pages that violate the ToS Agreement, I usually get kicked off. That's where the redirector comes in handy. I just tell people my redirect URL instead of the true URL. That way they'll memorize that URL, and maybe bookmark it. Then if my site gets wiped off, I just login to the http://www.v3.com/" TARGET=_blank>v3.com members section and change the target URL for my redirector.
By the way, they have very flexible advertizing methods, from popups to adframes. I suggest the adframes, since they're so small and hardly noticable, and much less annoying than popups. If you want you can pay them a small fee to remove the advertizing (only about twenty bucks, and it lasts you a year).
Hope this helped.
