Adding ads

Re: Adding ads
I have a question for Rick: Can you buy ads for your own site? If so, why haven't you done so yet? It sounds like such an awesome idea.

I think he meant buying ads for his site to put on other sites.Dubiousity wrote:That would completely defeat the purpose of him making money off of it.ctcmjh wrote:I have a question for Rick: Can you buy ads for your own site? If so, why haven't you done so yet? It sounds like such an awesome idea.
DOH HO HO WELL THEN
Re: Adding ads
No, I meant buying ads on his own site just for the sake of advertising to people who are already here.Teh Brawler wrote:I think he meant buying ads for his site to put on other sites.Dubiousity wrote:That would completely defeat the purpose of him making money off of it.ctcmjh wrote:I have a question for Rick: Can you buy ads for your own site?

It's like how Jack in the Box has TV's in their restaurants advertising their food.
It serves no purpose, but it just seems so awesome.

Re: Adding ads
What I'd basically do is put up my own ad and then make a minimum bid, so the ad shows unless the minimum bid is met.

Re: Adding ads
Hey you know, every time someone complains, the ad expires before I can check it out. This is annoying.
Also don't post all the details in the forum.

That said, if you see a project wonderful ad that breaks rating, let Rick know, or let any of the mods know, and we can pass the message along to Rick.

Guys, if you see an ad that breaks rating, TELL RICK ABOUT IT as he can ban certain bidders from bidding on the site. Just let him or one of the mods know, and let us know what the ad is, so we can kill it.
This...is the downside to project wonderful ads. Usually, they're pretty good, otherwise...

Rick is the only one who can do anything about the ads. If you tell one of the mods, they'll just basically forward your message to Rick. Also, while there may be good intentions, don't post it on the forums where everyone can see them, because, well, all that achieves is more people seeing the ad.
*Twich*
Do I need to, like, stab someone to get my point across about this idea?
Okay, everyone, it's simple. If you see a bad ad, you contact Rick over AIM so he can take it down. He is the only one with control of the ads. If he's not on at the time, then nothing can be done; some ads are on a time basis and expire before Rick can even get to them. Posting the ad in question DOES NOTHING, and only makes work for us to clean up, since you know, we have to GET RID of the bad ad you posted.
I know it's in good intentions, but, really...com'on and think a sec guys. I should not have to state the same thing FOUR times.

Re: Adding ads
To notify Rick about a questionable ad, you could also send him a [PM] with the details. For clarity's sake, it might be a good idea to make the subject something like "Ad (!)Report."
