The focus of Neopets is primarily games and exciting content. It was not started to make money at all, but with 8 billion pageviews a month we have to or the site would not exist.
Marketing, Immersive Advertising, all these things were not even considered when the site was founded, they are simply a necessity, and we approach it in a much better way than most sites (no popups, no horrible flash ads floating in the middle of the screen)
We do specifically state that pages with advertisements on are actually paid for by sponsors, in caps no less at the bottom of each page.
How do I know this? I founded the company, so there.
