The ads!

The ads provide a pretty interesting window onto site use, and as I suspected, the forums make up the lion's share of the traffic (in terms of visits/page loads). Prior to putting them on the forums, I made about 5000-6000 "impressions" (ad-loads) per day. Yesterday I made nearly 20,000. Granted, with ads at the top and bottom of the page, I *think* I'm technically making two impressions per page load, but that's still fairly impressive.

Is there a difference, in terms of benefit to you, if the ads are actually clicked?

Yep. The ads work on a "click-farming" basis. That said, I think Google gets tetchy if folks click the ads just for the payoff, as it were, so I think the official thing to say is "Please support the site by visiting our sponsors." :)
Just don't click-for-the-hell-of-it. If I had a friend who clicked on every ad that popped up, for example, that might look to Google like I was "abusing" the ads, dig?

This is a hoot.... the ads change per the content of the page....
On this site, it has made for more than a few LOL moments... of which I can remember none at the moment.
(I have the Anti-Shawn mind... his reads and remembers for a decade until the precise moment to use it, mine read and records, but refuses to retreive)

In the Flamethrower and Gardening thread there was an ad for a flamethrower kit. Where we were talking about Foamy, there was an ad for getting supplies for pet squirrels. Ya gotta love it.

Heh - I just told someone he's smarter than his avatar looks and came up with an ad for Pacifica University, Graduate degrees in Psychology and Mythology studies!
I love it!
