About the Ads
By June 2008, the Good Omens Lexicon had started generating enough daily traffic for us to implement ads. As the site contains large amounts of copyrighted content, we want to be absolutely clear on what we’re using the money for. The ad revenue covers part of the site’s hosting bill* and domain renewals; if we earn more than that, any excess will be donated to charity, currently the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
If you’d like to advertise with us, you can do so through Project Wonderful.
In the interest of full disclosure, here is the complete breakdown of our ad revenue vs. costs over the years:
