Title: Advertising
Post by: Gandalf on September 07, 2007, 10:47:11 am
Some of will already have noticed that we are displaying ads on the bottom of the forum page.
In our quest for world domination  :D we will make some places for advertising, and we are going to give opportunities for advertising as well.
But do not expect to see more ads than text, we will try to keep it looking good as we hate sites where you can not see the content because of the ads.
Of course everyone is free to click on them or not.  ;)

If you see at any time ads that are inappropriate please contact me, we have the possibility to block URL's if needed.

Wait. Where are the ads? I see none.
Title: Re: Advertising
Post by: Gandalf on September 07, 2007, 03:39:45 pm
It seems that Firefox users get the ads in a different place. For Internet Explorer users they are under the forum, where they should be according to how I placed them.

Firefox sucks, Microsoft rules.  :hah:

We will try to make Mozilla behave better, it is somewhere in the code.

Anyway thanks for noticing and don't click on them too much or they will deduct your IP from the payout  :rofl:

Ever heard of patience? The ads make revenue when members click on them, they didn't put them there for fun. Think before you post, please.
Title: Re: Advertising
Post by: Gandalf on September 07, 2007, 06:20:36 pm
They are now at the right place in all browsers. Yeah we decided to make a bit of money, but we don't want to annoy you.  So tell if in any browser the ads are in the way and we will adjust  ;)
Title: Re: Advertising
Post by: Aragorn on September 07, 2007, 06:26:20 pm
You want Argonath to grow up? Want...
So just leave it to us...
Anyway we'll do all so this ads will not disturb you...

Thanks!

The ads are good. I think it'll be good to diversify with the revenue gained. How much is it per click?

*Has Dynamic IP so it's good to click

Actually it is a mix. Some ads will pay for displaying, others for click, and others only if you buy something. And right now ads are only fron one source, but if we get people interested we could display other ads. After all why not let big companies pay for our developments ;)

thats pretty cool actually , and the money is probably going back into making our community and argonath better ... or is it Gandalf?? :trust:

Wo0o0 I'm glad it's contributing to your funds. Unlike others who start a server from their home PC :/, you bought a server and maintain and upgrade every week. I think it's great that people can play here. It's the money from your own jobs that lets us play.

*Hopes Gandalf and Aragorn don't get fired any time soon
Title: Re: Advertising
Post by: Aragorn on September 07, 2007, 09:43:58 pm
Well, I think this way is better to support our old and amazing friend Sauron... Not just by developers, but the whole community and things that are working cos of his work and care...
And no, money from what Argonath will get - will not go to our pockets... no space there...

Hey oldman.  :gand: Firefox doesn't suck if you download the right plugins and add-ons, for example, i won't see any publicity cause I'm using a publicity blocker for mozilla add-ons. and also a bunch of dictionaries so I won't misspell things.
ohh, and a script blocker so i won't get malicious scripts running.

let's make a poll.
Title: Re: Advertising
Post by: Gandalf on September 08, 2007, 11:20:56 pm
Lets check statistics.

Browser
60% Internet Explorer
25% Firefox
12,5% Opera
2,5% Other (netscape, safari)

Operating system:
95% Windows
 4,5% Linux
 0,5% other

So we will test all developments of sites for 3 browsers.  :pop:
Title: Re: Advertising

Thats exactly what I was going to say...

Everyone gets IE with their computer but FireFox you have to make a choice to download...

So I would not be surprised if Firefox was the one that came with computers ;)

It would be way more popular browser than what IE is now...

GO FIREFOX!!! :banana:
Title: Re: Advertising
Post by: lionz on September 09, 2007, 02:33:24 pm
I got both, i prefer IE because it loads quicker for me, but meh thats just me. Firefox has its flaws, but so does IE, so i cant complain

Here is the first result of the adversiting. We have started our own Argonath TV channel, where we are playing our movies and clips.  We are funding this from the first advertising click income. Right now the TV broadcaster is in test phase, but if you continue to support us by visiting some advertisements we will be able to buy and maintain the TV broadcasting program.
To watch, click the 'TV' in forums and choose channel 1: Argonath TV.

And of course contributions in the form of TV shows are welcome. Contact Aragorn.  ;)
