The free ancestry subscription is a great suggestion. ;-)

If this banner is at the top of each page, it seems it would give the mistaken impression to visitors that Ancestry.com, Rootsweb.com or USGenWeb actually author and/or own the individual pages. Shouldn't the authors be allowed top billing instead? What if the banner were at the side of the page instead?
