Ads? Why?

Kendall Berry, MSPH, CMLSO, Website Development Planning Task Force Chair

Have you noticed ads on the HPS.org website? Ads like this at the bottom of the page:

This is only a test!

As your Website Development Planning Task Force has been gathering data, we have learned that the decay calculator and Ask the Experts pages are viewed frequently. The idea that ads could generate income is one that has been floated numerous times, but never tested. Right now, as we are redeveloping our website, the task force opted to gather some data and learn if ads are an untapped potential revenue source. The intent was to have ads on the decay calculator and Ask the Experts pages only, but ads have been popping up on other pages too, which is good information for the task force. The task force will use the data and knowledge gained to inform the Board of their options and the HPS Board will ultimately decide if ads are part of the new website. So, for now, this is a test, this is just a test.
