Just to cover bandwidth, eh?

[Captain Berg]

I don't know if anything like this have been brought up before, feel feel to slap me around a bit if that's the case, but this just made my slightly intoxicated blood boil  :evil:

I have a site with a guestbook thingie that uses google ads. Oh, OK, I never thought about it too much, until now, when the ads obviously have realised that it's a sim site that I have:



Those bastards make enough money on their sucky-ass-sucky shitpiles of downloads to BUY google ad space?

Seriously!

And they're in MY guestbook, on MY site!  :x

I don't know if I should just take the guestbook down and find another one that doesn't use google ads. Too bad, becuse those 60-something entries stroke my ego so nicely...  :roll:

Edited some grammar errors/typos. See if you can find the rest

Poor Berg...  :cry:

No, seriously. That is... I'm tempted to say whack, but that word is largely unnatural to me... So... I lack a word.

Kill it.  It will make you feel cleansed

The google adspace deal is easy to get into, and doesn't cost that much for a posting like that. In fact, (if memory serves...I could go look on the site but I'm too lazy), you only pay based on hits.

I'm just sorry that you got an ad with such a crappy site.

[Quorneater]

Oh but I heard you could block particular ads?

[Captain Berg]

Teadrinker: Really? It sounds too good to be true, but I haven't looked it up. But it's not ME being part of Google Adsense or whateveritscalled, really, it's the site where I got the guestbook and I don't think they'd give a rat's ass about which ads I want or not No, it's gotta go.

Will you all spam my new guestbook?  

Hebucus: I just checked it up briefly and you're correct, it seems you can adjust the costs to what you think you can afford.

[Pescado]

Hmm, interesting. So if they pay by hits...wouldn't it hurt more if we pummel them with hits? Isn't it therefore a *GOOD* thing to let them advertise it, particularly if you link to PMBD at the same time, thus insuring that any clickers are "empty" and provide ad hits they have to pay for while generating no revenue?

[Quorneater]

How did my name get onto that?  I have never used a guest book

[Modo]

If we clicked the hell out of the adverts, not only would google detect the same IPs are doing it, but it is the site which has allowed google to advertise on their site, who get the money.

So basicly we would be wasting our time giveing the guest book site money.

Of course, dear

Great idea! We won't make them bankrupt unfortunately (you obviously set a maximum limit for your monthly budget) but we can make sure that their advertising money go right down the drain (where their downloads also happen to come from).

To bad I just got temporarily banned from my own guestbook for refreshing it too often (tried to see what more evilz it would come up with)

Hahahaha  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I'm sorry, but that just struck me as devastatingly funny.

Man, I need a life...

Berg, A-free-guestbook.com doesn't have adspace.  I use it and it's really great.

I changed my name.  Seems there are one too many Teadrinkers in the community.  I even found someone posting as teadrinker in the latest EA chat transcript.  :cry:
