Google Ads

I never like to put ads on sites because they look so tacky. I've had one banner on the Smolderforge account creation page since it's frequently viewed, but now I've placed them on the index and viewing forum pages of the forums.

The reason is I'm trying to generate some extra revenue for an upcoming endeavor which will require a sum of money and the extra money we get is extremely important.

Yesterday it generated $1.61 USD (WHICH IS GOOD!) I normally get like 10 cents at most, so over a dollar is really, really good! This will continue help paying for the webserver and Internet bandwidth, but extra will always go to undisclosed work.

Basically it makes money based off how many unique IPs access the site, page hits, and clicks. Since these forums are constantly accessed it was just logical to put them here :).

Thanks for the understanding! I hope they're not too much of a bother XD.

* Our ads will not generate popups which can download Spyware in the form of cache to infect the Windows OS. These are ads that are paid for to be listed by Google, and are approved by Google.
** I despise of popups and those ads when you hover over words it makes a little box. Just simple banners will do :).

Extra revenue is ALWAYS good, and it's not like we force people to click them or have annoying pop-ups or those ones that take up your whole screen till you skip it. I think they are fine in fact I never noticed them at all.
