    Google Adsense in this forum

    Hi all,

    with the update of forum software to SMF 1.1.2 we have introduced Google Adsense.
    Some ads will be present at the following position:
    • top of page
    • inside every threads after post 1, 3 and bottom.


    We hope this will not make any trouble to you. If any, please let us know and we will try our best to limit ads.
    Decisione to make this change was taken in order to to cover some of the project costs.

    To be 100% transparent we will publish all check amounts we will receive from Google.

    Eros, adsense ads from Google are not bad at all. If my site ever gets finished and hits go up, I will do the same. It is a very nice balance of free information and service to the user, but some money to cover your costs.

    Hi Eros,

    no problem for me, as I use AdBlock for Firefox so I don't see it.
    Is Google Ads pricing based just on presence or viewing ?

    I can stop blocking ads for this site if it will help you.


    Bye,
    Petr

    Payments are per clicks but very few clicks generate payments
    Never went in deep on this reasons. I suppose to avoid fraudolent multiple clicks, Google check user navigation on the site where the click will link. Sometimes 100 clicks generate 0 revenue, sometimes 1 click generate some cent revenue. In very few cases 1 single click generate more tha 1 dollar revenue, I suppose when that click gererate a purchase.

    If someone know something ...

    Don't go the Let me click 100 times route. Google tracks IP's too and they through you out faster then you can think.

    Also top of page and at post 1 and 3 of every message thread. Maybe you have some ADs buster active.
    Yes, I know about Google AdSense policy click. I've also been informed from Google about that.
    Last year I get 1 check of 102 USD from Google. Imagine? I spent about 25 Euro to cash it due to international transaction and bank Italian costs

    Re: Google Adsense in this forum

    I am not seeing any ads either. Google doesn't use popups, so you think it would work. I see their ads on googlesearches and with my gmail just fine, so it can't be the browser, could it? I am as you know firefox 2

    $105 is nice, I just bought a 500gigabyte external hard drive last night for $139+tax. It was a great deal, I couldn't refuse at Best Buy stores here.

    Very strange.
    I checked Firefox 2.0.0.3 and i see ads like I showed in the picture ...
    What can it be? Personal firewall? Broser option? Some MS$ toolbar?
