OK, in response to the feedback received regarding the banner ads, I've
*started* on some changes.

A couple of the "fake search" ads have been binned, and some alternatives
put in their place. I've removed the ads that came out top in people's
views of "most misleading".

Some of the others will go over the coming weeks as I get replacements for
them. I can't promise that they will all go, as there aren't that many
relevant banners available that don't use the "fake search" feature.

http://test.links.org:8080/ shows the banner ad with an "Advertisment"
caption. Feedback welcome!

In making changes, I am trying to ensure that the ads we display are NOT
in any way misleading, whilst still retaining honest advertising that will
be attractive to people searching the site, so as to protect the income that
FreeBMD receives from the adverts. This means that we will try various ideas
out for a period of time, but permanent adoption is dependent upon them being
broadly revenue neutral.
