Your comfort and your feelings are important to us.
To serve you better we provide this notice explaining why we display
banner ads on our site and the choices you can make about the way
banner ads are displayed in your browser while you are visiting
convert-me.com. To make this notice easy to find, we make it
available on our homepage and at every page where banner ads
may be displayed.
Why we display banner ads
Convert-Me.Com project is being run by two individuals (my wife and me).
We slowly develop the project when we have spare time for this job.
When we first started this website in 1996 it was a hobby. The project
gained its popularity and its weekly audience of over 100,000 since than.
To provide better and faster service in 2004 we decided to move our website
to U.S. based web hosting.
Convert-Me.Com provides free online conversion. We don't sell any goods or
services on Convert-Me.Com. Banner ads are the only source of revenue
that allows us to pay for the bandwidth and the hosting. The money from
this source is currently enough to pay the bills for the site and even
keep something for future expenses.
We understand that banner ads can be annoying and some people hate them.
Unfortunately we cannot refuse this source of revenue completely. However
to provide a better service we now allow every visitor of our site
to disable the banners for his or her session.
