All I have to do is click the ad and the site makes money? I was under the impression that I had to buy stuff. I'll click on an ad now if that's the case.
My only complaint is that the format of the site is getting a bit messed up with all the links (Add to Cart in the database, the cart symbols in the charts).
I haven't seen any ads that have annoyed me, except some of the the old ones. They were gross, and not in a charming way.

I'm sure every person who owns a website would love to do that - unfortunately advertisers dictate how much they want to pay and ad rates are low. I really don't think ads are excessive on this site, we have 3-4 main ads on most pages then a few supplementary ones on longer pages like forums and the homepage. Go to Kotaku, Joystiq, Destructoid, Box Office Mojo - any other site of a similar size to ours and you'll see just as many ads. Unfortunately it is what we need to do to survive. Do you honestly think if I could put one 10x10 pixel ad at the top of the page which generates as much revenue as the 4-5 we have at the moment that I wouldn't do it?? |

Lol you are treating a member with a ban when he is the one making the most sense.
JUST REMEMBER!!! HOW BIGGER THE SIG, HOW SMALLER THE ****

It depends on the ad. Often all you have to do if have the ad displayed... Sometimes clicking generates more, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes buying something may generate more. Not all ads are the same. Not certain about all the ads on this site (amazon's probably require a purchase), but most other ads probably generate some money per million views.
The only ads that ever bother me are the audio ones. Volume all the way up, and BAM!
Congratulations. You won blank.

Pay per click ads don't tend to do well these days since people rarely click. Pay per view ads work by putting images and logos around, increasing awareness so many companies go for this approach but they pay fairly low per view but when you get lots of views they perform better than the per click stuff which doesn't do well at all (google adsense is useless and i have tried it many times in different ways). Don't go clicking on loads of ads - that will just result in us getting banned from ad networks and make things worse!! As has been said before, this Amazon store could more than support vgchartz if enough people used it. Similarly, I am negotiating with publishers some high-paying videogame stuff in the near future which should work better on the site. |
I guess this means I'll be making my next purchase from there. Out of curiosity, is vgchartz your full time job, or something you do on the side?
For what it's worth, I've bought a few things through the Amazon store already and will continue to do so in the future. I'd much rather support your site that way! :)
And just an FYI, if you have any amazon pre-orders, they can be canceled at any time. I canceled my pre-order of the next Futurama movie and re-ordered it through the store, every little bit helps, right?
