We've been told we're crazy. Who would turn down $1000/month to run an ad? We would.

We advised against it as our readers are typically looking for the best hotels and deals in Virginia Beach, VA -- not Washington DC. While we appreciate the potential business, we turned down their request, for their own good. read more...
