Oh gadzooks, forgot to paste in the correct subject before I hit Send,
so, apologies to Cindy, here is a second try.

Joy. I am not sure what "big bucks' your geek friend is referring to.
A domain name costs $75 for two years, and I have seen advertisements
for much lower prices.
You can register your website with various search engines without any
costs whatsoever.
The monthly cost for a domain business site as well as a personal site
plus unlimited internet access on Earthlink is less than $40 dollars per
month.
there are probably even be better deals than that out there.None of this
involves banners.
would you be paying the big bucks to your geek friend? if not, who?
