Default Ads today

The site seems to be going crazy trying to load ads from all different locations and it is really being a pig.

Just thought you guys should know. I had to block them all.

How do you block them?

Usually I just right click and Adblock them but they are crazy block-resistant Spanish Flash videos or something.

EDIT: Nivam.it?

I just clicked a few times so CP gets some revenue... it's a Spanish dating site? Weird man. Are hockey fans from Calgary really their target demographic?

Do we actually have to click on the ads to generate revenue?

Nope, impressions also generate money. Clicking on one does increase it I think, but if you just click on them without actually giving the business any business it increases their advertising costs without increasing their business, so eventually they'll pay less for advertising and it decreases the ad revenue.

LOL @ flip.

So, we're better off not clicking?

Cause I can click every now and then it it keeps Bingo happy. Or his bank happy.

Basically click an ad if you think it's interesting.

From the ads I have seen over the past few months I would be shocked if anyone has actually clicked a link because they were interested.

You would think they would generate ads that were hockey or sports related.

Recently I have been getting ads to meet and marry Asian girls.
