Are you kidding me???????? VIAGRA ads when clicked = PORNO SITES!

I can't click those ads anymore when they lead me to porno. Those ads are ridiculous now . . . .I'm sorry but I can't be a part of anything porn-related. Anything.

Thats right, the ad are gone. But somehow I miss them...
I think the calcgames banners would be cool instead of them.

yes, they did make the site more alive. but i'd rather not have viagra ads on this site :).
we'll be looking for another advertiser just for the heck of it...maybe we'll keep away from the ads altogether. we'll see.

defraying the cost is good, I can't say i miss the ads or liked the ads, because 90% of the time I didn't even notice them.

nah, ads don't earn enough money for anything and due to the site content CPI advertisers don't like us. CPC work like we've seen, bot lowe click numbers and rather low pay per click kinda make those ads useless since they don't get us enough money for contests and not even for hosting. so basically speaking, that was an experiment of some sort to see how the ads work.

What about Google Adsense? I've heard that some people have made lots of money, and some only a few. Google has small ads, that don't take up much space. What about that?

So do you consider the ad trial a success or bitter failure?

About Midway between those two options.

Umm...something in the middle. I wouldn't consider it success since the income was too low, but I can't call it a failure either since it did make us some money whatever it is. We'll see, if we find a better choice than aaddzz we'll give it a try but for now we'll just live without ads for some time.
