Thinking about advertising

Submitted by caedes 09/22/03 11:45 PM GMT

I'm looking into using google to generate some revenue for the site. This would help us to pay for the server while not ugly'ing it up with popups and huge ad images. Here's an example of one such ad. Any thoughts?

Doesn't look to bad for an ad. I'm just wondering, how much would this generate, if I can know, because I would like to know the price for having an ad, you know, see if its worth it.

Also, when I click the link there are some "powers" there, what are those? =)

Doesn't look bad to me! as long as it generates something decent.

And you left your page controls at the bottom of the page. yes I did click on "edit" and "delete", but I am unauthorized. oh well.
good idea!

WN: Are you asking about how much it would cost you to have your own ads? If so I can say a bit about that.

I was thinking about having a trial period of about a week to see what revenue it could generate. That's really the only way to tell due to the way google pays for the ads.

Doesn't look bad at all! It's a lot better than having those annoying pop ups, and gigantic images dotted around. I think it's a great idea, just check how much money it would make, first! =)

It looks fine to me. Not too distracting. Anything to help. And, I'm sure that this is a silly question as I am sure that it is in plain site - but, how do we contribute finacially to the site to help out?

i've never seen a reason not to have ads, as long as they don't squawk, beep, flash, move, or otherwise induce epileptic seizures :-D

It's funny how the tables turn, turn, turn, turn.

Tracy, click on "The Caedes Cadre" in the navigation on the left side. It uses paypal.

I have always liked the design of your site. Very clean, very slick. I admit I think it is a bit of a shame to have to have it there, but hey, if if helps to pay for the site, you might give it a shot.

If someone is the Caedes Cadre, would these ads not show for them? And no, I wasn't wondering about ads for myself, just how much they would generate for this site.

It would be very easy to remove the ad for members of the CC.

yeah, i know, what i was thinking is that like google wouldnt give as much money if everyone didnt see it, but now that i think about it, that doesnt make much sense.

i think if instead of the banner being at the top! it should be at the bottom of the page. Make your site look a little more better than it BEING RIGHT IN your FACE once u open your site up..If you get my drift.

The problem is that we would make next-to-nothing if the banner was on the bottom.

Caedes- I think CC members not having the ads is the way to go.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

Hey, if you need the money, throw them up there. You can't depend on the amazing dual-Athlon forever. With a little coding, you could probably integrate the ads more stylishly into the design of the site, maybe within the main frame instead of just above everything else.

tbhockey: If there's one thing you'll learn in college, it's that 60% is average, and that's good enough. :-P
(Or maybe that's my problem, I'm not sure...)

I don't think it would greatly spoil the slick design of the site, and after all people can't expect the site for nothing!!
