Well, i didn't even know you removed ads for guests, but if you honestly need the money i wouldn't mind one on the homepage.

Like at the bottom, where i don't have to look at it.

As long as my anti-virus doesn't throw a fit because of them, I'll be fine with it.

Getting the money is more important than saving a few seconds of scrolling past annoying ads.

Roph, even though the community has a lot of say in what goes on here, the site is ultimately yours and Crank's. I don't think any of the regulars would complain about you doing what you need to do to keep the place up and running. I know I sure wouldn't.

If the symbol must be in that direction, then:

Banner Ads > Not having this site.


As in, banner ads are better than not having this site.

Which ever way the crocodile's mouth opens is the better option cause it's tastier :mad:

Cause 7 > 6  and 0.2 < 0.3

Obviously crocodiles love things that are larger in quantity and banner ads  :mad:

The site's ok =o This month is paid for and I've got next months (21st feb's bill) covered which will mean rmrk next needs money on april 21st =o

It's me that needs money, but I wouldn't wanna spend rmrk money (from ads or donations) on myself or anything but RMRK. Which is how it's always been =o

Google hasn't sent its ad crawler to RMRK in a while, since no ads have been on rmrk in a while. So for now, it has none. The top one defaults to public service, the right one just shows a solid color (same as the background, so it's hidden) if there's nothing to show.

It'll take a few hours, or maybe up to 48 I think till google properly crawls (crawlers for normal search and crawlers to place relevent ads are seperate).

It seems to be getting better for me, already I see ads about online games (actually one I played, shaiya =o)

How spread apart do the clicks need to be to be valid? I clicked each 2-3 times and stopped, since I knew that after so many it doesn't work anymore, but I was wondering how many does it take usually before it doesn't help.

All you're doing is unfairly taking money from companies. They put the ads out to attract people that are actually interested in the content they're advertising.

The whole point to adding these to the website is to make money for Roph. If they don't expect people to click them, then they shouldn't have them. It's better for everyone that they're here, and people are clicking on them, rather than not having them at all.

You just shouldn't ever click google ads simply for the sake of clicking google ads. If it interests you, by all means =o, but Google isn't stupid.

OK, does it make sense to anybody that they replace the O with the cross? Crosses look like t's, and there's a t in the word. Crosses do not look like O's. Christian Netwtrk makes no sense.
