Out of curiosity I wonder if it is time to reopen the discussion on no
advertising on WMF sites. In a way this banner is a form of
advertising (and I don't mind it although on a small screen it pushes
too much content down) and a "WMF advertises or other people post a
limited number of adverts" question may not have been done recently, I
cannot find it. In round numbers the commercial value of putting a
narrowed banner where this one is I guess is several hundred thousand
USD a day (based on a guess of 12 million impressions and assuming the
rate PCM is the same as the Daily Telegraph) so one month a year of
selling the banner could pay for WMF entirely?
