I don't see any ads.

Probably due to the majesty of firefox.

Could someone give me a screenshot of the ad, I disabled adblock on this site but I think I added some other adblocking stuff to some other file or something.

Oh wait nevermind, I think I still have IE installed for some reason, if anybrowser has the power to display ads, IE does.

Clicked and downloaded, hope google doesn't see this page and decide to stab you or something.

How much does each click give you?

For once I agree with Zombie.

... Wow, the ad is only after the first post!

Once you scroll past that it's like there aren't any ads at all!

Personally, I'd much rather have the ads be somewhere like the support page than in the actual posts, it completly disrupts the flow of the forums, and makes the site look really unprofessional.
How much does it cost each month to host the site, just out of curiosity, and how much revenue do you get from those ads?

For all you whiners out there:

Let's see you pay for it. You do realise that it's a pretty pricey thing, do you not?

Just be quiet, and quit your damn bickering.

The download was for the FF ad.
Took me a while to notice those other ads.
Seriously, how much do you get per click?

I agree, the ads only after the first post disrupts the flow of the forums. We need ads after every post to make it flow.

I don't think I have the liberty of talking about it according to their ToS...

As far as per click, it's unknown. Google doesn't tell you.
The firefox ad? $1. You can see why it would have been a shiz load if I made the old link an ad.

Wait...that "Browse the web faster. Get firefox with google toolbar" ad generates a DOLLAR per click?
Wow, thats pretty lucretive. Does it only count clicks from unique IPs?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by IsolatedPurity on 2006-04-02 at 17:38:12
I would assume so. Google's ad sense seems pretty hot, as I was told in the merger thread. If anyone's thinking about installing their ads on their own web page, let me know.

IP, Just make the ad blend in with the site and MOST people will like it...Hell, some people might just even click it by accident!

//Edit- So people are happy with my idea?

I find putting ads up here funny. Becuase im using firefox, I just use an extension called ad block, And I wont see the ads anyways. No need to pay

Could you move the ad to the last post of each thread? After the first one is sort of odd and misplaced.

I concur. Stick them at the bottom, first post disrupts reading.

Holy crap... an entire dollar?! If I knew it generated money for SEN, I'd have clicked it the moment I noticed the new Firefox button.

As for anyone complaining about the ads, stop. After I noticed they were there, I ignored them, and haven't given them a second thought(until now, of course). I was almost getting to the point of forgetting they were there.

It pisses me off, but it's not terrible. The question I have (It may have been answered, but shut up), is, will clicking on the ads 20 times help the site any better?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Rantent on 2006-04-02 at 18:15:11
I'd just rather not have them between posts, its seems kind of a random location when compared with the locations ads are on other sites.

Does the site run on a dedicated server? if so, then the price would be in the range of 300$ - 500$... in which case, we're gonna need the ads.

You people that complain on the ads doesn't seem to realize that IP has been working with this site for a very long time without getting paid a dime. You all get to have free accounts and you're also able to host images and maps here.

Hosting and late night coding isn't free ya know.

No, it's not on a dedicated server. It's my desire to change that though smile.gif.
It's not necessarily $300+ to do so either.

From what I remember hosting is like $20. Maybe a little more for the domain.. Or was I mis-informed?

About moving the ads to the bottom of a thread, I would prefer it stay at the top. Both disrupt the "flow" similarly, however, in longer threads most of the time when you've been keeping up with it you just look at the new current posts. Those are located at the bottom.

In many topics you don't go back to read the first post that much anyway. So really by having the ads at the top you will be seeing less of them.
