Yep. I added a banner ad to [META], your premium source of stats, seasons, and player profiles. But hear me out... I did it for the money. Not for me to have the money, but for you to have the money. I want to see if an ad-supported [META] will earn enough that I can funnel that money back into season prizes. Season cash prizes. So please, turn off your ad-blocks while I run this experiment and we'll see if you can get paid to play Card Hunter!
Don't we have to click on the ad for you to get money? If it's only turning off the blocker, i can do that...
I believe some Ads pay per view. Obviously those ads will pay less than the per click but the META site probably gets a lot of views.
I think (think!) the google ads pay for both click-through and impressions. As @timeracers stated, the latter pay much less than the former. Of course, suggesting you click on the ads in order to boost ads-revenue would be against google's policies, so I'm definitely not going to imply you could also do that Making sure you disable your ad-blocker should ne more than enough. Most of the times, you can add an exception for a single website, rather than disabling the blocking of ads across the board.
Do most browsers have some sort of ad-blocking by default? Im guessing this is independent of the pop up blocker, (which also seems to be rather pick and choose in its effectiveness).I know there was a program Ad-aware and probably other similar things that had some of this ability, but i was under the impression you couldnt do much anyway in regards to banner ads without blocking a site entirely or running some crazy algorithms on your firewall assuming you have the know how. Incidentally, in a rare twist from an advertisement, i was pleased to be informed whilst visiting the meta that after having Arnie in town for the classic, we are having another fitness expo next month, its like they know me too well . Ill click away on it till i get arthritis if it will earn some money for cardhunter, on the proviso that the google swat team doesnt show up at my house and trash the place. (I guess its already a little trashed at times.)
Although I don't exclude some browsers might come with built-in ad-blocking functionality, I doubt that's the case with any the major ones. Ad-blocking software usually inspects fetched web-pages and remove/alter any html/javascript they successfully identify as advertisement. This includes all sorts of banners. Pop-up blocking functionality, on the other hand, is already built-in in all the major browsers, but ad-blocking software might offer their own heuristics to accomplish that as well. I'm not really up-to-date on the feature-list of the latest versions of the main ad-blocking tools, but that's pretty much a given.
I am entirely fine with this setup, considering that I'm probably funding five dollars extra to the season prize on my own.
I installed ad-block (i think i installed it?) but that was so long ago that i dont even remember how to "turn off" the ad-block, so if anyone has a simple method to do thus "turning off", please state here.↓↓↓↓↓
I'm assuming you're using Chrome? If that's the case: Open Chrome's Settings Select Extensions from the side-menu Find the entry for AdBlock Disable it entirely or go in AdBlock's options and do whatever you please
If you're in Firefox, you should have a red stop sign labeled ABP in your toolbar. If you click the arrow next to it, you should see three "Disable" options: site, page, everywhere.
Experiment failed After an initial spike the ads settled down to ~$0.08 per day, which isn't going to fund any reasonable monthly cash prize. Ah well. If it couldn't fail it wouldn't have been an experiment. I've removed the ads.
Perhaps we should have Karen and the other female cast of characters in a revealing outfits beckoning players in the same style as Evony.
Hi Farbs. What did you spend the cash on? Note I''ve paid for humble bundle but also happy to click on ads.....
