Ads by Google in the footer?

[miketyler]

I just noticed the Ads by Google in the footer of each page. Has that been there all this time??

I think that is new but they have been on the Home page to the right all along.

Yeah, I was going to post about this today too.  Its not too bad I guess...

I noticed it also.  They have to pay the bills.  I'd rather have it than a yearly enrollment fee.

I agree, it's only there to ease the site payments. I'd do it too if it became a little bit of struggle. I just hope we don't get them above the main forum and on the sides, it really kills a forums look. I'd gladly pay $5-$10 a year to keep it flashing banner advert free!!

I agree Carl.  It is ok the way it is.

If you have Fire Fox just download the Ad Block Plus
It pretty much blocks all ads on forum sites and/or internet sites

Huh, cool, never knew that. Thanks Hannah!

Yeah I noticed them too.  Once in awhile I hit one of them  . . just because.  I know they track them and I think Ross asked us to at least click on them once in awhile so they continue to support.

its dual purpose.  it further integrates us into the google search system which is good, since a lot of people bypass the home page completely.  but every click of an ad brings me a few cents.  money to run this site, while not much, comes out of my pocket so the check from google twice a year helps.  what you see now is the extent of the advertising that will take place on this site.

OOPS did I say block those ads??
Bad Hannah!! I blame the 
No no Ad Block is bad
Google ads are

[Carlwalski]

Thanks for the insight Ross, that's a goo idea IMO. Glad to hear you're still keeping the site clean.

Not having a clue as to how much this costs to keep running each month or year, is there some way to set up a kitty so people could send some $$$ to keep the site going?

thats not really necessary.  30 seconds to click the ads once a day and im a happy camper
