Explanation about advertising again from heartbroken Nick.

http://www.nachi.org/reporthost.htm
http://www.nachi.org/hreporters.htm

AGAIN. I know its hard for some to believe! NACHI ACCEPTS NO PAID ADVERTISEMENT. Even though we get nearly 3 million hits/month http://www.nachi.org/stats.htm we don't sell ads. Not even banner ads. Furthermore any vendor offering NACHI members something can enjoy similar treatment.

We don't accept paid ads (at great expense) so that our visitors can learn about ALL vendors, not just those willing to pay to advertise. AND so that this site and the information exchanged on it can be trusted. It is for these same reasons, we have no moderator, and the message board is open to all.

Please, if you have something to offer our visitors, let us know about it. We encourage you to tell us. No charge. If you offer NACHI members something special or a NACHI discount, I will post it in http://www.nachi.org/deals.htm We want to help you sell your product/service, we just don't want to be paid for that help...its yours for free.

Nick

PS Sorry if I sound like broken record.

Nick,


For some reason most people just can not grasp the concept of FREE! Must be ASHI members! ![icon_biggrin.gif](upload://iKNGSw3qcRIEmXySa8gItY6Gczg.gif)

we don’t accept paid advertising and we don’t moderate and we don’t exclude non-members from the board and we don’t get a cut on anything and we don’t edit posts and we don’t object to vendors telling us about their products.


I'll even go as far as saying that this message board is no longer NACHI's. It has become the inspection industry's board. NACHI merely hosts it.
