That would make sense. I think that is how they put adds on.

I have noticed they are changing now jump. I hope the level of click throughs has gone up.

heh. I think you are the only one that visits our sponsors. It's appreciated.

If everyone clicked a few a week we would probably cover all costs for this server.

I've added clicking the links to my daily I'm-sick-of-the-thing-I'm-working-on routine at work. (Also, look I have internet at my new apartment now. woo.)

We had a new donation today. So far donations total $70.00 Thanks to those two individuals for their generous contributions.

Looks like at half way through the month we are at half the total needed in a month to actually collect from them. So keep up the good work and visit our sponsors.

And donations are still being accepted. I have to pay the server bill next month.

I added a Amazon search bar to the top of the forum pages. If you plan on looking at Amazon to purchase something then you can use it to find your item and we get a small % if you actually buy it.

I recieved a message from someone indicating that some of those google add links are bad links. Is that true? That might explain the drop off. Can someone clarify that so I can complain to google?

Apparently there's some funny-business (and not "funny, haha") regarding some spyware removal programs advertised via Google, though I don't know if it's the sole complaint regarding them.

Well, we don't get those adds. I'm talking about dead links and such. Google is pretty darn good and making sure sponsors are on the up and up. Though I'm sure some get through for short periods. I can't check them myself. Site owners are not allowed to click.

I can see the guys worry. But really, one thing happens and he is challenging their entire revenue schema? I notice the adds are still up. Things are always going to happen in this world. As long as they react to it in a bussiness type manor then all is good. I'm more worried about dead links since we don't get any pc related adds.
