Christopher Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Obtrusive? Okay? Blah?We definitely have to have ads running here, so I want to make sure that they are aesthetically acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 (edited) I don't mind the ads. They don't bother me too much. Only hassel is that you have to scroll down the page that extra bit, which the ad is taking up. Is the forum having ads to get a bit of cash?I myself won't look at them very much at all, but just taking a look at them now... I see that 2 out of the 3 ads, are advertisements in/from Australia (where I live) so I might take a look at them now every day and I didn't even notice the ad at the bottom of the forum at all, until I scrolled down the whole page of a post. Ads at the bottom are good, coz you normally dont even know they are there, unless you scroll the whole way down the post Edited February 6, 2005 by MZ-NH1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Well, it would only make sense for us to have ads, not only for extra cash, but to help businesses that support our community with great products and services. Thank you for your thoughts on the placement, it seems as if they're not too bad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 It makes sense to have ads that support the MD community. I would be more inclined to pay attention to such adds, rather than the standard "Google" or random ads which attempt to make themselves relevant by scanning the contents of your page. Of course, if ads become too obtrusive, irrelevant or just plain annoying, I can always make use of the Firefox Abblock Extension! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Yeh, since you say they are for MD businesses, then yeh I think it is fine to support them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 They are identical to the ads on Head-Fi and on the other few forums I bum around, so they are no more obtrusive here than anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamagatacamille Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 ^ i agree, if they're to help support MDCF, i'm all for it.huh, the ads are at the bottom...interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Interesting in what sense? Anyway, the Google ads are surprisingly VERY effective. If the click-through rate and average page views per day stay like this, having contests and benefits [prizes] for you guys is definitely on the horizon! I can't believe how well this is doing..

atrain Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 will they continue to be google targeted ads? i don't mind those at all. banner ads i'm not a fan of but they are a benign evil to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Good question.The only other banner ad is the one I made for reactive sounds, which will display itself occasionally. I may have alternate ads for them in the future, but for now it will be only Google and that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well, it's probably something I'd keep to myself, you know? Doesn't matter man, we're doing fine regardless of you blocking them or not..but please let's not have this be a common trend amongst everyone. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
