Yes - I have two classes of advertisers on sneezy:
http://www.sneezy.org/Resources/Retail.html is free - it's a listing
including address, phone, e-mail, link, and short description.

The sponsor's page is
http://www.sneezy.org/clarinet/Sponsors . It has nice graphic links
to either the sponsor's existing Web page(s) or to a set on sneezy
itself - I allocate 2 MB/sponsor if they want it. I'm using the income
to help defray the line costs on sneezy - $30.00/six months, $50.00/year
to be a sponsor. Our company pays $1300.00 a month in line &
connection charges. We use the line in business, but sneezy takes a
good percentage of our bandwidth.

If a company doesn't have a Web page I put one together for them
(Clark Fobes' page & Avrahm Galper's pages were put together by me) as
long as it's relatively simple (text and a few scans). The Sponsor's
Page link is displayed on the main menu of sneezy, making it easy to
find. That $50.00 wouldn't come close to what I'd normally charge -
but sneezy is a hobby, not a business.

I wanted to give businesses and educational institutions that support
musicians a chance to advertise on sneezy without the advertisements
being obtrusive - I hate the ad links & banners that keep coming up on
"free" pages. I'm hoping I've hit a happy medium.
