I agree on the advertising stampsx2. I can't stand websites with tons of ads and I feel it takes away from the experience. I had so much push-back while developing the site from others insisting that I needed advertising all over the place.
I wouldn't have done 10hikes if it was just a vehicle to sell Google Adwords - that would be a waste of my time and energy. The goal is to do something that is useful for others and really interesting to do. Hopefully I can do this without ever needing advertising and 10hikes can become a way for others to get out in nature as well as explore parts of the world.
