  I looked for it too! There were so many comments (way over 100) about the ads.

  I guess this means they aren't going to answer you.

  They did answer me in a standard automated email. Just that they were going to pass it on to the marketing dept.

  A couple of members praised and added a link to an alternative photo site... maybe BP did not like that. It's strange that they themselves show ads to other photo contests (e.g. I saw and ad of a Chinese contest on BP).

  I think they just don't want anything negative about BP!

  Gregory will be around with some hot chocolate and sage insight shortly, most assuredly.

  This just show us how they are.

1- They know everything we do.
2- They don't have the courage to face us and answer.
3- They just care about THE FM.

If BP keeps going this road I'll not renew my membership in December, well they still have several months. But if they don't care about many member what will they care about just one, I have seen many wonderful friends leaving this site because of BP polices.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I MISS THE OLD BP. THE ONE THAT MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH PHOTOGRAPHY.

  Well, I had heard a ton about this subject, so came in here to find it. It's gone. Somewhat disappointed that they are not allowing us to express ourselves. But if it will help any of you to understand it's this... It's business. As a small business owner, I understand why they did this. I would love to have companies pay me to advertise on my business site. Like me and my business,I don't think BP can raise their rates because people will leave for that reason. This economy, at least here in the states, is not getting better, contrary to our fabulous politicians saying it is. One thing about the ads, at least they are not pop-ups. They are fixed, so just don't click on them. I'm sure BP gets so much for each click. I can ignore them because they aren't pop-ups. I have my Delux site expiring in a month, and even with the special going on, I probably won't renew, because I think the price is too high, cheaper sites are out there. But as a small business owner, I understand where BP is coming from.

  One more time everybody...we don't care if there are ads, we just don't want them covering up an entry! I don't think that's at all unreasonable on our part.

  I don't comment a lot on the forums but I have been checking out all these about the ads and when I checked this morning, I couldn't find them. That is strange. I don't mind ads either but I sure do hate it when my image is covered up with one of them.

  Do you think the ads are needed to keep BP afloat?

Not too long ago we got an offer to sign up for a course with Jim Miotke to learn the secrets that have made him hugely successful with BP. I didn't sign up for the course, but the advance publicity didn't give the impression that Google ads were part of his strategy.

It would be interesting to know if putting ads in amongst the photos was covered in the course.
