What's with the ads at the bottom of the page?

I resisted using ads for the 1st year because, to be honest, I'm not a fan of them myself...so I didn't want you guys to have to look at them either. However, the reality is that as the site continues to grow and use/need more resources, the ads will help cover the cost.

I understand those who don't like looking at ads, which is why I placed them on the very bottom of pages, so that it doesn't interfere with the actual content. 

My goal/focus is to guarantee that we have a home for years to come, and while ads can be annoying, the revenue they generate will help to make sure that happens.

They're easy enough to ignore after a while. Plus, every time i scroll to the bottom of the page, to click "return to the top", that's an impression. So if others do that, it should add up pretty good.
