Title: How do you feel about the GoogleAds on this site?
Post by: The Big on May 10, 2007, 04:24:31 PM
As you may or may not have noticed, I added some GoogleAds to these Forums except Masters of Mud Forum.  Mainly because I wanted to play with it to see how it works.  It'll be nice if it can help cover some site hosting cost.  But based on the last couple of days of performance, it doesn't seem like the ads can help much. Oh well, I thought some ads actually carry some useful content and I sometimes do click on them (haven't bought anything yet). So to me, they are not completely useless.

How do you feel about it? If you do have mixed feelings, what do you like and what do you not like?

I say if it helps pay for the site then do it. Small enough and not that much of a pain.

Thanks squiddo for your input.

For the past few days, it has helped pay $.40 for the site.  (Did I make that dot obvious enough?)

I have my computer screen's resolution set high enough at home and work that the ads look quite small and elegant.  But I don't know if some people are still using some old monitor and/or have a low resolution (e.g. 1024x768). I think if that's the case, the ads might look ugly.  But I wouldn't know unless someone tells me.

I am not going to say what I think since everyone already knows.

no big deal

helps pay the site

3 years with enough traffic you can pay for one year of hosting.
