Experimenting with Ads

[Legolis]

Big Brother (a.k.a. Google) is watching you...

I like ad blockers, but keep in mind that in this particular case using one would defeat the purpose.

lol I'm skeered!!!

How does this exactly work with ads? You get money depending on how many hits a page gets or depending on how many people actually click the ads? Or is  it something entirely else?

You get money depending on how many hits a page gets or depending on how many people actually click the ads?

Yes.

If you use Firefox with Adblock Plus then go to tools-Adblock Plus and click on "add filter".
In the window it pops up paste the following:

@@http://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php?action=forum

do it one more time and paste:

@@http://lotrtcgwiki.com/

in that way you add an exception for this specific site and forum.

[Kralik]

Aww, you are sweet.

You get money depending on how many hits a page gets or depending on how many people actually click the ads?

Yes.

Yes to which? If it's simple page views then it requires no action of us, but if it's dependent on clicks then I can easily get myself to click on those ads every time I check the forum for the sole reason of earning you more money if needed.

[Kralik]

Yes to both.

It is against the rules for me to suggest that you click. And no, this is NOT an hidden suggestion that you should, either. Click if the ad interests you.

So far it looks like they will help, so if I keep them, I will look into making them less intrusive.

I love it as long as it keeps TLHH and GCCG alive!!

[Kralik]

Scaled it down from images to only text-based ads.

Ummmm....I don't know if this is happening to anyone else but after the first post on a topic on each page under it is an ad and it is kind of annoying to see every time. And even at the bottom of the page. It wasn't like this at first.............But if its keeping TLHH alive I'll have to live with it

I'm going to keep the ads, but they are much lighter for members than for guests. For them to actually help, they need to be visible (hence bottom of the page vs. above forum header). I'm locking the thread now since there's only so much I can say or not say about them without violating Google's TOS. Thanks for the understanding!

[Kralik]

Ha, Threshold of Shadow... I like it! It's all so much clearer now...
