bigfish1965 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 They pay the rent. We see them too. Google ads are our friend. (keep saying that over and over again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 the goggle ads are paying for the site if you don't want them send 300 bucks and they will disappear for a month well I really don't know how much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_paul Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think TJ posted last week that they had to be added to help pay for the site. Not sure they can be turned off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setomonkey Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 The price to pay for a free site! The ads aren't too bad, at least they aren't bandwidth eating multimedia like you find on some sites... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I don't believe this is a 'free site' in the sense that someone has to pay for the software license, bandwidth & space (ie. TJ) The google ads I am sure help offset that cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyejigger Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 was just checking who was around in the list and "google.com" is there, is it just me or that is odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yes, you're quite right Raf. This is not a free site and the Google ads do help offset the costs involved in keeping these sites running. It's not that bad at all though in that the Google ads are contextual ads.....meaning that they at least have something to do with what we are talking about on a particular thread. In fact, there are sometimes some pretty neat ads showing up on there. sometimes. WalleyeJigger, that is most likely a Google bot.....called 'spider' or 'crawler'. The newest version of this bot is actually quite sophisticated. Look it up on a search engine to find out what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJQ Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yup.. they are here to stay.. believe it or not... this community is a bandwiths and space HOG... Weve been running them a week, ans it looks like they will be able to help pay the bills... so they are a neccessary part of the site. There presence here will allow us to pay for the bandwidth.. which we may have to upgrade already.. lo. as well as allowing us some dough to always be on top of upgrades and fixes so we dont have problems like what happened on the old photogallery ever ever again...

Gerritt Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well if they are indeed helping to pay the bills, and are offsetting the cost of running the site..... I suppose I should click on em every once and awhile. Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
