[Foundation-l] Advertisement and service at the same time

[Florence Devouard]

Would it make a difference...

if an advertisement is only there to reach out to the attention of the 
reader, and is only beneficial to the one paying for the advertisement 
(eg, a Ford ad on a Toyota article)

or if the advertisement also was a bringing a benefit to the reader ?

I ask the question because my husband opinion is very clear on the 
matter. When he reads an article about a BOOK, he would like that we 
provide as a service, a link to a website where he can directly buy the 
book. Typically, an Amazon link. It would be an advertisement of course, 
  but it would bring a service to the reader. It would not be a 
GoogleAds.  We would be able to exactly select which articles we want 
the ad to be on (for example, all articles about books. all articles 
about DVD). It is not damaging the NPOV of the article. It could be 
identified in a special area. Deals could be made with one, or several 
providers. It would bring some money, but not huge amounts of money (who 
could disrupt the organization...).
