i have no problem donating to keep the site running whatsoever. we were given a choice to either pay x amount to be a sponsor or pay y amount to be a sponsor and also get our ads in the rotation. i think we all went with the more expensive one but never saw the benefits of the extra fee's for the ad rotation.
Well, how much exposure yours, tvt's, and eurocharged's ads gets depends entirely upon the settings in the ad rotation software.
I worked for DoubleClick and Google for three years, and specifically worked on resolving my publisher client's issues with getting ads to rotate properly per their client's contracts.
Right now, all that is mostly being seen is the "house" ads, that pull up this Google AdSense ad. That typically occurs when the initial ads that contain the ones that you are looking for have met their satisfaction for a period of time.
Its both fairly complex and yet quite easy to explain, but there are a lot of variables that would need to be looked at to have a full understanding of what is happening with the ad rotation.
I don't want to bore anyone to death with this info, however.
We would all much rather hear about hp boosting technology that about ad serving technology.
One thing to think of:
I'm not sure what your contract with the website is, and wether you provide them with a kickback with user clicks on your ads, but if you don't provide them with a click fee, then its in their financial interests to have the users on here be more exposed to the Google AdSense ads, as the website gets a bit of money from Google with every user click action on an AdSense ad.
If every user clicked on 1 or 2 ads per week, it would add up pretty darned quick for the website.
