JasonH Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hello Everyone, Just wanted to give you a heads up and gather opinions on a new ad banner I'll be adding to the site beginning August 1st. As you all know, the forum has one ad at the very bottom of the page. Beginning August 1st, I will be experimenting with one additional ad at the top of the page before a post. As always, I will try to make it as unobtrusive as possible. I also want to stress the point that this site will NEVER have ANY sort of pop up, or ads placed inside of your posts like some forums. I may remove the ad, I may leave it in place, we'll see how it goes. Thanks, Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainInsaneO Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I think ads on either side would be a prudent use of space while remaining unobtrusive, AND it would increase visibility of the ads (the one on the bottom isn't very visible right now because most people never scroll down that far.)

spolkyc Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 What about adds for non-registered viewers. Logged in members see a reduction in adds. Just an idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure that it's the ads that PAY for the site, so that we have access to all the great info for free... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Ok, so I'm a day and a half early. I determined that an ad placed at the top looks like absolute garbage. In place of a banner, I have placed a very small ad at the top of every topic. What do you guys think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 If it helps pay for the site, then I am fine with it. Thanks for everything Jason! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ever since you posted this topic, btw, I try to make a point of clicking a couple ads every time I'm on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

S4 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 To be honest I didn't even notice the new ad until you mentioned few posts up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
