Removing Ads
2006-06-02, 8:41 PM #1
I'm removing ads from the site, they aren't worth the trouble. They make like $100 every three months.

Better than nothing, right? :)

Except I have to claim it on my taxes and whatnot, it's more of a pain than it's worth.

Fair enough.

I didn't even notice any ads.

They're on level info pages, surprisingly, we get about 200,000 page views a month in that section.

Wow.

I never really understood why you took down the google ads. Shouldn't they give you a little bit more money when they're on the forums?
Sorry for the lousy German

They are like the same "Is Bush a Sith" things over and over again. If there was some way to get Google ads to display computer stuff or something it might work better. Or we could just start spamming the ads every day. :ninja:

I would have been willing to click an ad daily for you =]

The forums generated about $2.00 per month, whereas the level info pages was like $30/month, so I figured it wasn't worth the annoyance factor.

You could buy me singing lessons with that money dammit!

Geesh, I'm getting more crap for removing them than I got for adding them! I'll just put them back, but bigger, flashing, and pink.
