Google Ads

[David Knudsen]

Hi Bernie, its actually against google policy to ask people to click on it, but to be honest we'd rather see what sort of revenue it generates on its on. I don't really expect many of our users to click on it, but we do get thousands of visitors a day who aren't members, who come here via search engines...I think they'll be the people who click on the ads.

David, how much does the board get per click?

I'm in the UK at the moment and the site is showing ads aimed at the UK audience, so it seems to be working.

I just clicked on a pic of an aircraft cockpit not thinking that it was an ad and got linked to natgeo TV advertising Air Crash Investigations. So certainly relevant to the board and some what ironic considering the Turkish incident in Amsterdam that I just heard about.

Also this is the third or fourth time I have looked on the board today but the first time I have noticed the ad so not invasive at all.

Hope it brings in the revenue that is needed.

Cheers

It depends on the ad. Every ad campaign will pay a different amount, but probably averages 30-50c per click.... but some can be more than $1!

No problems with most ads.

The Nat Geo Air Crash Investigators one here (just as it does at airliners.net) causes the PC to basically freeze while it does its thing. Does anyone else experience this issue?

[Mick F]

Yeah, I've experienced the same thing Craig.

You both need new computers then, obviously, perhaps I could sell you some!

I have the same issue on my work PC that runs IE6, but my home PC with IE8 seems to have no issue, I think it may have something to do with the lastest version of Flash Player having dramas with IE6/7.
