Advertising sites on Heroes Wiki
If you'd like to advertise your site at Heroes Wiki and have your ad appear on any number of pages here, just click here.
Ad Blocking
While blocking advertisements is becoming easier by the day, I'd like to ask that visitors to please not block the advertisements here at Heroes Wiki. We only use Google Ads and Amazon ads as Google is one of the advertising companies that maintains strict quality requirements for ads on their network and the Amazon ads are specifically chosen for their relevance to Heroes. This way you won't be served annoying pop-up ads or ads that might not be safe for work. Even if you do not click on any ads that you find interesting revenue is generated sometimes simply by allowing the ad to load. So even if you never click on ads you are helping Heroes Wiki by not blocking them. If your ad blocker is blocking ads here by default, please lend us a hand and have your ad blocker allow ads from this site. As stated above the revenue from advertising is going to a good cause, so I'd like to ask people to please help contribute by not blocking ads here. Thanks!
Google Sponsored Software
If you ever need to install a copy of Firefox with the Google Toolbar on a machine or are looking for easy photo management and editing software, I'd like to encourage you to come here and use one of the links at the bottom of the page. The photo management software (Picassa) available through the Google Pack is very easy to use and is great if you're looking for something simple that will even let you touch up your photos. Using one of the links helps support Heroes Wiki and we appreciate all the help!
Browser Home Page
If you're looking for a simple home page with Google search for your browser when it starts up, feel free to use http://heroeswiki.com/home.php. Using it for searches will help generate some ad revenue for Heroes Wiki. In addition to searching the web it also has options allowing you to easily limit your Google search to either Heroes Wiki or Wikipedia. To quickly set your home page just drag the link above to the Home icon at the top of your browser. It's a nice replacement if your homepage is currently Google or blank, plus it helps out Heroes Wiki! If there's anything more that you'd want to see on the page just let me know.
