We Have Ads Now

Yeah, we have Project Wonderful ads now. I invite anyone who thinks that their ads will be appropriate for us, to bid.

And, unlike Google Ads- people can feel free to click as often as they like- explore! It's pay per day not pay per click.

They look really nice! I hope they help a lot. :D

[Tundra]

I hope so too! :D

[MichaelB]

Woah!

Aparently we have 31 unique hits from Guam. And 3 from Mexico!

Is there something MBliss hasn't been telling us..?

[Tundra]

They're not unique hits in that section. The top graph, if you hover over the orange line, says we've had 96 unique views- that one is accurate. The graphs down the bottom with top regions, that one is just page views. :)

[MichaelB]

Oh, right. Ah well.

[Tundra]

Still... we have members in Mexico?

Ok, current ad I am seeing is about living with a new series of Lust or something and it relates to dolls and miniatures. Not what I would normally associate with each but yeah. :)

Anyways from what I have seen so far they are pretty unobtrusive so I have no problem with them, easy to ignore if needed but easily accessible too.

Personally, I can think of plenty of ways in which lust can be in some way related to dolls and/or miniatures. The ads are also much prettier - a definite plus.

[Tundra]

Gholam- it's two ads. One was a fashion blog and it was called something to do with Lust. The other was my dollhouse miniatures. :P

[Gholam]

So they are your lusty miniatures then Tundra!

Gene! Mind out of the gutter! :0

^ *whines like a kid* But Gholam, it's fun thinking sick. *keeps hitting refresh looking for ad mentioned*


Tundra, I think that when you talk about NiH, that you should give a maximum age of members (could have 40+ or something like that depending on the max age) so people who are above 25 won't think 'it's all young whippersnappers' and know that there will be other members their age.

^leads to interesting sig quotes too ^^

[cat_lover_4113]

You are quick to have it, and Gene is genuis to have said it.

[schultzie]

Oh good one Cat. You called him a genius. Now watch as that goes right to his head >_<

I kid. :P

[Tundra]

Well yes but they do also have to know what to target us with ad wise. And the honest fact is most of us are under thirty.

[TwistedFirestarter]

I don't see the ads <_<

[Tundra]

Do you have adblocker?

[TwistedFirestarter]

....>_< That would do it. *facepalm*

[Tundra]

Probably lots of people have adblocker. But you can allow it for certain sites, if you choose.

[Tundra]

hee. Sockblanks.

[Tundra]

I might be putting ads down the bottom of NiH soon, instead of the Amazon ones as they're totally not working right now.

[AXJ]

Be advised, apocolypsegirls.co.uk is apparently adult content. I tried clicking on it at work and got a big nasty warning for trying to visit an adult site. :(

[Tundra]

I'm sorry. I HAVE got the settings set to no nsfw sites, and that one IS tagged as nsfw. I've emailed PW to ask them why that happened.

[AXJ]

Cool, thank you. :? I'm certainly not blaming you; I know errors out of your control happen sometimes.

[AXJ]

Huh... it looks like a lot of small forums and webcomics are advertised on it. For example, outdoorhobbies.co.cc has just 73 members and barely over 1000 total posts. So I can't imagine they'd be paying much for adspace with PW....

Is it possible to get nih advertised on it? Or are we already?

[Tundra]

That's why I was asking for banners before. I advertise on it, using some of the old banners that I'm not sure if they're that appealing or not in a clicking sense but they're not horrendous, but I have no budget so I only can put up free ads. Which means the ads are only on tiny sites.
(though, outdoorhobbies was one of the ones that got us up to 40 cents a few times).

Part of the point of Project Wonderful is that smaller sites *can* afford to advertise on sites that aren't hugely expensive- and NiH is not hugely expensive. Because we don't have enough clicks or views compared to say... Questionable Content webcomic. :P Which has tiny button ads that are $6 a day each.

[AXJ]

What specs do you need on that banner?

[AXJ]

I still think you should use that one I came up way back in the day, with that included 'saucy mennonite choirgirls'

<pours one out for jen and elski>

Gotta see if I can find that banner. I may have it around somewhere.

[Tundra]

I don't have that one anymore. :(
And since they're not here anymore either it would feel a little weird...

[Tundra]

But feel free to make other ones that are slightly injokey!

[Tundra]

I've gotten rid of the Amazon ads at the bottom of every page, and replaced it with small PW ads.
