Traffic isn't much use if you block the ads. That just costs money to host but doesn't pay anything back! We get paid per impression not per click - doesn't matter if you click through or not but blocking ads from displaying cuts off any revenue that the site can try to generate. I obviously appreciate people linking to and promoting the site and apologies if my original comment was a little harsh but I do feel like people that block ads (and especially those who go and boast about it) are basically sticking two fingers up to all the work and time that goes into the site. It's like me going into a shop and just helping myself to whatever I want without paying for it. I want to keep the site free for you guys and have advertisers fund its existance, but if you block the ads (as about 1/4 - 1/3 of users now are) then it really makes things an uphill struggle. |
Well basicly right. But sorry, I still block flash ads. First off traffic, second anoying sound (often) and CPU usage thats why I use flashblock. The other I would never block, but having only 350kbit/s download at home makes you think about flashblock quite fast.
