Just my Opinion polish I am assuming you are refering to the "Google" ads. Those ads are done automaticly and are supposed to basicly read whats on the page and display ads according to the content on THAT page. Sometimes they dont "read" right and you get funky ads. Go ahead and check them out anyway. Everytime you click on one it helps support this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 The only ads I want showing are that which pertain to the sport or powersports market. I am working on tweaking it so the ads are more relavent, but yes Polish is right in terms of supporting the site w/ the ads. You don't have to click on them just for the sake of support, but if you see an ad that interests you, it might bring you to a good deal online or to a good site. Google's pretty reliable for having strict policies for their advertising customers. The google ads have been on the home page since pretty much the start of the redesign. I've wanted to include them on the forums but couldn't think of a place to do so without cluttering it up and being unnecessary. I came to the conclusion I'd put them down at the footer, and occasionally near the top (which is only on the page where you view a thread. all other pages do not have them near the header). If a Banshee-specific merchant or vendor wanted a large ad in either of the google-ad spots, they would replace the google ads for the time they advertise on here. Hope this clears it up and helps reassure that you won't be seeing Visa and Viagra ads on here ever, if I can help it. And if anything like that shows up in the google ads, let me know.. I can filter out what is displayed on the google ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blue Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Just out of curiosity who are the site sponsors now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawarriorman Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Don't know if you've used Google ads before Lee, but I've heard of a bunch of people that were never able to get their money out Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 The Site sponsors currently are (and I'm proud to mention them any chance I can): - Noss Machine: http://www.nossmachine.com - Sweet Quads: http://www.sweetquads.com - TRG Coating: http://www.trgcoating.com - Wolfpack Racing: http://www.wolfpackracing.com - and of course HQ premium members. hehe - oh, and shameless self promotion of my biz, HQ Network. As for getting paid, I've yet to be burned by Google. I can't vouch for accuracy of clickthrough's etc. but it seems accurate based on the ratio of hits I have web-analysis reports on my servers for, in relation to google's representation of clickthroughs. But if they burn me, they're outta here! :baseball_nuke: well, maybe I'd give them time to recitfy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
