Keyword Advertising
Posted :: Jul 6, 2005 by Impact

As you may have noticed, on longer articles, Absolute Insight has started using keyword advertising.

What?
The program we are using is called "Intellitxt". Articles will (possibly) show up to 6 (never more) highlighted words. These words will be double-underlined and colored green. If you move your mouse over one of the highlighted word, a tool-tip will be shown with a short summary of the advertiser.

Why?
We have decided to include the advertisements to help offset the cost of bandwidth. We chose intellitxt specifically because we felt it was the least intrusive method of creating revenue.

What if I don't want them?
We feel that the majority of people will not notice any change in their use of Absolute Insight, however, should you not want to see the keyword advertisements, you have two options:
1: Don't move your mouse over the double-underlined words.
- This will prevent any tool-tips from appearing, and you will notice almost no change from the original articles.
2: Turn off Javascript.
- Intellitxt runs solely in Javascript. Some browsers (early versions of Internet Explorer) don't have support for Javascript, in their case, they won't see any advertisements on Absolute Insight. If you turn off your Javascript (an option somewhere in your browser's settings most likely), you won't see them either!

The AI team has worked hard to keep AI ad-free, and until now all costs associated with running the site have come out of pocket. With the new revenue, we will (hopefully) have a new source of funding for new upgrades and better content.

Thanks for understanding,
