K_N Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 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. 1 1 1 Quote

Do ads work on just traffic, or do they only pay if someone clicks it? I have no idea how these things work. Quote

I have no idea how these things work. 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. Quote

Sandstone Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 I'll disable my ad block for the site if you want to do that and it's not like all over the page. 1 Quote
bnmjy Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 I recommend ads on douches and links to infowars. 1 Quote
katt_goddess Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Basic thoughts based on the 'what not to do' stuff I've seen elsewhere. Single ad, non-invasive / non-hyper, static if possible that would only change with page refreshes instead of bunny-hugging the shit out of bandwidth and refusing to allow any of the site to physically load until it loads. If places stuck to that, they'd be able to request their users to whitelist the place for the passive eyes without ruining the site experience and have a small but steady income on it. 8 1 Quote

K_N Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 I'm gonna try it out. Ads should maybe start appearing only in the header of the page in a day or so. 2 Quote

PhilosipherStoned Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I don't mind pausing adblock for sites like this as long as I don't get bombarded with pop ups etc.. I think some size/resolution adjustments could be made still I paused adblock and it looked like the folder tabs got a bit stretched out or something. Quote
viperxmns Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Only ads for enlarging our guinea pigs And guinea pig accessories 2 Quote

PhilosipherStoned Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Kind of pushes everything to the right of my screen though. @midnight said he might be experiencing the same problem since his laptop screen is small. At any rate it looks fine with adblock on, and it might not even be an issue on mobile/ bigger better sized/ resolution monitors. 2 Quote

But disco’s laptop is a lot bigger than mine and her’s is doing it as well. I’ll have to look into the ad blocker. 1 Quote
