Ooooh I like this game…

I’m considering integrating Google search into the site. The current search facility is shit.

Google is fast, but it will display ads at the top of the results; we’re not making any dosh from it. Just their cost of doing business.

Any objections?

So you’ll only see ads if you use the search function?

We’ll still be otherwise ad-free, right?

And I guess if you’ve got a clever enough ad blocked in your browser you might not see ads at all.

No complaints from me

Yeah, peeps with ad blockers won’t see them.

Also, I’ve just found out that we could make money from them. But only from people that don’t run blockers.

Catch 22, and let’s be honest here does anyone actually click on ads anywhere?? Apart from accidentally?

Fuck it. We’ll give it a trial.

Installed.

I only click on the dating sites and Penis enlargement ads

TBH Google ads is money for nothing. I used to have it on my website and only viewable if you weren’t signed in, which is fair enough. Casual browsers see the ads, those who sign in and contribute to the site content don’t see the ads.

The foot-fall on my site was probably 100 visits a day but it still raked in around £60 a quarter which paid for the hosting and more. Nobody would criticise you if you had ads to pay for running costs.

So this entire thread has been to announce to us quietly, that Pap is now on the make from this site and plans weekly Curry Nights in scousehampton.

Can you all shut the fuck up please?

I’m on the blower to a Shanghai supplier, ordering a consignment of Chinese kids to power the Sotonians server’s treadmills.

Google money has made this possible.

The Automatic News thread is being quietly retired in favour of a week by week thing, complete with week dates.

Enjoy.

Excellent news! I’ve just had a look at the new thread. It’s an hour old and Optimus Cunt has made 202 posts on it. It’s much better now that it’s manageable.
