I am so tired of seeing this stupid computer-generated ad at the top of the page here.

Stryker Crossfire

I guess it's time to subscribe here so the ads are gone. (And I can have a bigger avatar! )

 

or get adblock plus for free and poof they are gone. firefox is great

 

does any of our (supporting vendors) ad's show up in the rotation?? ive sent many emails/pm's to mightyjr about it and have never gotten a response to it. it seems we pay for the ad to be in the rotation but all that shows up is the other ads.

 

Ill keep my eyes open. I can't say I have ever seen one, but I DO think I have seen "NeedsWings" from time to time. Just not sure.

I am subscribing to the site when I sit and do my bills this month, so I have about a week of ads then they should be gone! (I want to support this place if I can and a few dollars a month over a year seems reasonable. I used to donate to my science board, until the admin got a free hosting deal...)

 

thank you, our ad should be in the mix, i believe tvt's and eurocharged should be also. but since we are paid sponsors we dont see the ad's without logging out. i have done that a few time to see and just saw the generic garbage ad's in the rotation.

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.

 

Don't worry Rob, word of mouth is a better endorsement anyday.....

 

Gez, I thought this thread was going to be about another Viagra ad.

 

You threaten to do that back in July.
What happened?

 

What are you, the Memory Department?

Tell me where the TV remote is.

 

LOL!
Nope. Just recall that I was also thinking about taking the plunge back then.
Since you are my hero I was waiting for you to go first!!!

 

Very true!

BTW......that new avatar pic keeps freaking me out Doc.....I'm afraid to speed anymore!

 

Add *.chitka.net to your restricted sites.
it will stop the message and end some of the adds.

Add *.googlesyndication.com as well and end the other ads.

while in IE go to tools, IE options, security, resticted sites, add the 2 above.

 

I run Mozilla Firefox because my IE is corrupted, and the disorganized kid here at work used my discs to recover the sales manager's computer - then lost the disks.

 

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.

BC.

 

......poof is right, mrphotman. Thanks for the tip!

 

or get IE Pro for free and also gone.
