There is enough page views that you can earn from that and I don't think members would mind if it meant that the site would be better. We're so use to ads its no big deal as long as they don't get excessive. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

[quote=Dmitri]Oh they would mind :P they are already complaining that the new theme lags abit so two more ads will slow this site down to a halt --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].

Then I'll attempt to click on the Google Ads at least a few times a day so therefore you're earning more from them since with page views I know it takes a lot more. (And everyone should be doing this :) ) http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

what google ads? ------------------------------- See my new screenie petpage? (: http://www.neopets.com/~TKDChampion www.youtube.com/TKDJamesPakTKD Check out my Martial Arts samplers =)

[quote=Dmitri]Dont click on them excessively though since they do check to make sure it's valid hits and not "random" :P and google ads show up on the bottom of every page. For most users, it probably doesnt even show up because of adblock --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color]. Buy a tent for your pet today! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=dmitri_stanislaus[/quote] Completely understood. I've had to deal with them before. It's all fun work. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

Hm I never really noticed them. I'm not sure exactly how it works though but I gave them both one click so hope that helps. (:

Lol. I have Adblock off on Neomallers so that the advertisements go through on my computer, I've actually gotten hooked on some games that were on advertisements (Example, an advertisement for Travarians was on neopets on what seemed to be every page for a few days a couple years ago and I got bored and curious so I clicked it, it's a really fun game to someone as boring as me.) --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.
