AT NO COST
by Sharon Rondeau
(Sep. 8, 2016) — The Post & Email wishes to thank each and every reader who participated in our fundraiser beginning approximately two weeks ago.
We neglected to mention that there is one more way readers can help to keep The Post & Email online which costs nothing except a few seconds of your time.
As we mentioned previously, advertising revenue for online news services has plummeted as new and improved ad-blockers become available and are used widely by readers everywhere. The Post & Email is no exception. Combined with typical lower readership in the summer months, a situation arose in which advertising income fell to insufficient levels for us to meet our expenses.
When website traffic intersecting with advertisements decreases substantially, some ad companies discontinue their campaigns, which can amount to a net loss for us.
Please consider disabling any ad-blockers you might be using when landing here so that we can generate the funds needed to continue our reporting. It will make a tremendous difference.
Thank you.
