Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Why'd you add ads??! They make it look, well, weird. I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Because having the ads will bring us 4x our current traffic levels within 2 months. They're not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 And how do you know that? Sorry, I just thought you wouldn't want ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 It's a contractual arrangement. Nobody wants ads, its just that the benefits outweigh having them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Indeed. I don't find them particularly intrusive though. But like faf said, we felt that a few ads to bring in more traffic would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I have to say, I didn't notice them for about 10 minutes before it became particularly apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 I think they look cute I can cut and paste letters from them and cheat at scrabble too! ) What scrabble? Is this one of those reputation-based games, or are you making it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Ohhhh, I get it now! If you have the Google ads, will Google feature you or move you up on science related searches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 No. AdSense allows you to generate revenue by placing the banner on your site. You get n cents per click on a banner that is placed through crawling of relevant material, where n is the "cost per click" chosen by the owner of the ad (using the complementary AdWords system). You get nothing for clicks on banners that were placed randomly if the spider could not crawl relevant material on your page, although facilities exist to allow you to show different banners if no relevance is returned by Google's crawl. The AdWords program allows you to place targetted ads on Google (those that appear at the top right of search results) and their affiliates. You can choose how much you want to pay for every click on one of your ads, and the cents-per-click you choose directly affects the frequency with which your ads are shown. Keyword-hogging is prevented by ensuring that a banner has to generate a certain number of clicks for every matching keyword that summons the ad. This system is how Google gets around the whole issue of people paying to go up in the rankings, which is a practice they don't believe in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
