FAQs are an Internet opportunity, By David Einstein, Aug 23, 1999, Forbes, "...A good example is www.faqs.org, home of the Internet FAQ Consortium. This non-profit site provides answers to all kinds of questions about newsgroups, and it generates some 4 million pageviews per month. With that kind of popularity, it probably could generate a substantial amount of advertising, but that's not an option, says Kent Landfield, one of the people who oversees the site. 'It's very tempting to sell ads, but the reality is that this site is owned by the authors who contribute the information,' he says. 'And they've given us marching orders not to advertise.'..."
