We don't have any adversising on the site except for the bicycle parts and accessories we sell, many of which are hard-to-find items. I do make an effort to keep the commercial section segregated from the informational section--lots of other folks in the business link to the informational pages (which is a boost for our search engine placement) and it only seems fair to not try to poach their customers.

And that's what I love about your site...I remember when a 14.4 modem was hot stuff...heck my first "online" experience was a BBS, using an acoustic coupler. It dirves me nuts to see scripting that misbehaves on non-microsoft browsers, requires admin priveleges to install flash player, etc.
Nice clean and simple, like a webpage should be.
