Google Ads Experiment

Post by trevor »

We really want to expand the community provided by rptools.net. Things such as hosted game servers, huge gallery, chat rooms, and the like. To support that kind of functionality we need to increase the host's bandwidth. That takes money.

So we're trying an experiment. The first step is to put a (hopefully) non-intrusive google ad bar on the rptools.net site just to see what happens.

We'll let it sit there for a week or two, and see if it's worth having there or not. If it's not providing any value, it'll go away for sure :)

They seem fine. Not very intrusive.
Do you get paid just for having them or do people have to "use" them for you to get paid?

Donnow, that's what the experiment is about. It seems they are everywhere, but you can't find the actual cost logistics anywhere. So, this should give us a better idea :)

I could "click" and go to each of the sites, if this will help...

Probably wouldn't buy anything though ;)
