Hahaha! Awesome!

1) Almost all banner ads these days are pay-per-click meaning you only earn money if ads are clicked on, not viewed so adding a few extra ads going to one extra forum has never ever increased click rates on CZ.
2) Banner ads generate very little revenue unless you are medical focused or high demand content, and sports sites like CZ are one of the most saturated content markets out there meaning very little money is earned from basic banner ad clicks.
3) Forums are the worst sites on the internet at earning money from ads of any kind, but especially banner ads.
4) I have turned down hundreds of requests by ad companies over the years to put more intrusive and annoying ads on the site even when they offer much better rates than google ads.
5) I have never generated enough ad revenue to cover hosting of CZ nor have I ever made a profit from it.
6) If I really wanted to increase revenue on CZ, I would plaster affiliate programs all over the site, implement keyword advertising so it turns keywords in user posts into link-based ads, etc.
7) The decision to create this forum was not made by me, but rather the staff here due to the massive number of Romo-vs-Dak threads in the Fan Zone.
8) A lot of users here use the "New Posts" link below the blue menu bar at the top of the page and rarely go to individual forums via the home page.

.. and finally .. if you don't like it, simply stay in the Fan Zone.

K, fair enough..I said prove me wrong. I'll stay in the fan zone

I get ZERO banner adds and as an Admin I see more zones than you....mind exploded.

Stop with the silliness as you are way off base even after others have tried to explain it to you.

Ok, I get it..but I do get banner ads. I googled a part for my oven a while back and now I get banner ads for my oven all the time on here

Never said YOU would not get banner ads. I was talking about how you were under the impression that they just create more zones on the forum to get more banners which was without a doubt WRONG.

I go to other sites (facebook, yahoo) and just because I looked at an ad one time for a Gary Holt ESP guitar..they show up anywhere that has google ads.

It's the way the google ads work. You search for something on ...GOOGLE....and next thing you know it shows up on GOOGLE ADS.. Stop and think about that.

So this site doesn't get revenue from google ads? That's a genuine question, I'm not being a jerk

YOUR quote... " I assume this is just for more ads"

We did not create a new zone of the forum...."just for more adds"

Either you get why we made a new zone or you don't...what is clear is, it was not made..."just for more ads"

Lol @rynochop. Just chalk it up as a day in which you learned something new. I learn something new every single day. It's awesome.

& now it doesn't have to litter the whole 1st page of the notorious Fan Zone. You could never imagine how happy that makes me. OK. Perhaps you can if you're in this thread.
