It does take like 6 hours for any changes I make to ads to get reflected.
Concerned that I'm seeing ads here that I don't see in the ad dashboard though. It's supposed to let me approve/deny all of them.
Unfortunately I can't turn off those big square ones on mobile, because they're part of the most basic ad set google offers.
That being said, I think if you X them out google will show them less.
It depends on the type of ad, some are pay per impression, some are pay per click and some are only pay if the user clicks and buys something/signs up. In order of low to high from the value we'd get from each.
Been thinking about adding a single banner ad to the site so we don't have to rely so much on donations. How do you guys feel about it?
I feel like most of you already use ad blockers so it'd only matter for the randos we get anyways.
I mean, it would be easy to add sort of but not really that functional for a few reasons:
Most browsers either already have or will start blocking autoplay audio this year.
Very few people want to hear audio playing on a webpage.
You would need to link that audio from somewhere you're legally allowed to stream it or we risk copyright strikes.
We have no real way to enforce/check #3.
Mine means "Salmon" if you go back a bit and "Sea owner" if you go back far enough. I'm guessing we owned a lot of coastline at some point and then eventually just became fishermen or something.
