Commercial Free!

1) Recently we have been contacted by a well known Internet Search Engine to allow paid advertisements on our blog site. We were told that the shear number of hits to our site got their attention, but more important than the total were the number of "unique and new visitors" to the site.
2) While we could care less about such things, some apparently are paying attention. Firstly we were shocked to be approached in the first place, then to be actually offered money just for doing what we enjoy most; discussing hockey was amazing/ego-boosting
3) However, as this was and never will be about money, we turned down the offer flat. As many of our long time readers already know, money is not an issue for FAUXRUMORS anyway. Additionally we feel that would open the flood gates for others to ask. We didn't want this to become a bill board, or worse yet, a pay site like the ones we lambaste regularly. Rest assured FAUXRUMORS will stay a commercial free zone!!
Thanks to all of you for your support as we have grown. As always, keep it here for the latest!

1) We never really got that far into discussions, but some numbers were thrown out there, but we're not at liberty to discuss them
2) To some the amounts they offered might seem like a lot, but we realize that's relative
