Advertising Policy
Last Updated: November 24, 1999
Why We Allow Selected Advertising
This site
is not here to make money, as people who have been regular visitors well know.
We are here for the reasons mentioned in our Mission
Statement, and for reasons mentioned at About this
Site. However, this site has cost a large sum of money, paying for the
web-hosting fees, the domain name, over a dozen different software programs used
to create the site, the Bible Codes software, and most of all the hundreds upon
hundreds of hours we have put into the site.
Because of this, we will allow
advertising, to help pay off some of what we have put into the site. We consider
the money we put into the site well spent, and that is not a problem. What is on
the site now is secure and paid for, and will remain here no matter what.
Additional funding will only add to the site, although it may eventually be
needed. There are a lot of things we'd love to do with this site, such as
promote it on a mass scale (to draw more visitors, potential souls saved),
publish the upcoming BCFS 4, and purchase more web-space, and more domain names.
In order for these things to be accomplished, we need funding. We have put our
trust in God for the funds, and if they don't come in, then we simply will not
do those things. Either way we are extremely confident, that in the Lord's
timing, we will be able to accomplish what we have planned.
Advertising Policy
The
company that markets Bible Codes 2000 has already helped pay off a small
portion of our debt, and we in turn have advertised for their product. This is
where our policy comes in. There are several qualifications for what products
we will advertise for:
1. It must be a product that at least
one of our core staff members feels confident will satisfy people who purchase it.
Obviously, at least one staff member must own the product, and highly recommend
it. (We are all in agreement that Bible Codes 2000 and CodeFinder
are far and away the best two Bible Codes programs, and are divided about which
is better. So we advertise for both and let the reader make their own decision.)
2. It must be a product that will be
of use to someone who is interested in the Bible Codes, or who believes in the
accuracy of the Bible. Bible software, study aids, help with Hebrew/Greek, or
anything else Bible related would be a good idea.
We will link to any website
for free at our links page, given it's worthy to be linked to. Email
us if you would like your site to be on our links
page. If you would like a front page banner on our site, we are willing to do
that. For fees and location, email
us. Under rare occasions, we will also do banner
exchanges.
Donations
If anyone wants to, but doesn't know how to help out this on-going project, we will now accept donations. Any donated funds will be used only for reasons mentioned above, and nothing else. If you are interested in donating, you may email the Webmaster.
