Re: Ads
First off, I should point out that encouraging people to click on ads goes against the terms of services. The idea is, advertisers buy the ads from google under the impression that people who click on them are interested in what the ad is offering.
Also, Google has extremely advanced software for tracking who is clicking on ads. It might not seem like a fraudulent click to you, but if you clicked on one ad every day, google would eventually figure out you’re not clicking out of interest, you’re clicking for another reason, and I wouldn’t get paid for your clicks in the first place. So you haven’t really helped us by doing that.
Having said all that, ads work best when you see something you’d be interested in and follow through. We’ve tried to make sure Google shows ads for things you guys might like (like other web games), so that you can click on them if you’re curious.
tl;dr version: Click on ads if you are interested in the thing presented, because google won’t count it if you click hundreds of times anyway.

We already have a long list of Brownie Ideas, but we’d love to hear more from you guys. More things to buy will definitely be coming!

It’s hard to compare one site to another, especially a very dynamic game like ours to a largely static site like the onion. Man I wished all I had to do was show static articles, it would be so easy to serve that up Log in to see images! (although I do remember a time when every Wednesday the Onion would go slow as hell after their updates).
I think it’s possible we could make more money off our existing ads if we tuned them a bit, and we will probably look into that in the future. Evil Trout edited this message on 03/12/2008 6:04PM |
