Ads Between Posts?

And MSN, and Yahoo, and it's certainly how Myspace makes more revenue than any paid site does...

If it weren't for money made on advertising, why would companies would invest in the infrastructure that supports the net and the amount of traffic it has?

How about some clarification on how/why/when people see the ads? I've never seen one. As Sully said, if it wasn't for this thread, I'd have no idea.

Only non-members and people under 100 posts see the ads I believe...

Not sure what the big whoop de doo is... F-ing silliness...

Well yeah, that's no big deal. Hardly worth implementing actually(unless it's a test for a bigger implementation).

After looking thru the posts, I don't see a single person in this thread with under 100 posts so I don't think that's right. Some of these people here in this thread are seeing the ads. In fact, I have one of the lowest post counts in this thread and I've never seen an ad.

I'll bet Jeremy is in a test phase. Who is seeing the ads? We'll figure out if it's post count, alphabetic, if you pissed Jeremy off or what.

I think cus they're signing out and coming back not logged in.

I could be wrong...

I'm still happy to be the main sponsor because my ad remains at the top of every page and that's worth the investment for me. Seems alot of people would be pleased if Jeremy would shed some light on the situation though?

Matt, one thing to also keep in mind. The google ads are from "google adwords" and are inserted per their relevence to page content. In addition, those ads are looked at as "content" when search spiders comb through the pages and that will actually help push the JCF up in search engine result for relevent searches.

So, when someone searches for some a particular musical thing, it will actually bring even more people to the board for looksee's and they will of course see your ad at the top. I think it's a good thing for your exposure really.

sadly, the jcf is a shell of what it once was years ago. so, why do i stay? eh, i'd say that it's a mix between habit and some of the people here; yourself included.

Agreed on all fronts, my friend.

Yeah, that's why I left for so long last year... I still get the urge to come in here and there. Then usually after a few posts, I remember why I left...

Nothing to do with Jeremy or the running of the site. But, I've certainly had my disdain for certain past management and members, haha...

Hey Matt, Can you see yourself in a mirror ??

I don't see the ads anymore, but I did at first. I could care less if there are ads, but they were a little bright and at 5 in the morning that a shock to the system!
