Good reply Kimo ... also there's brand and credibility issues to  
consider.  For instance, where would the ad logistically go (image,  
link, both?) and in placing it on the home page do you risk  
compromising your company message? As is often the case, it's good to  
weigh benefit against  cost and decide accordingly.   Silvana
