leviramsey Posted February 1, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2009 Now that VT has a bit more advertising, I figured I'd ask how many people are clicking on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted February 1, 2009 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2009 I click on maybe two or three a week... sometimes they're relevant and I figure that a few pennies toward the running costs of the site is a good thing. I do run a bit of userjs that doesn't show iframes or load plugin content, so I guess there's a bit of ad filtering, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 never to be fair if you were to put another poll up and provide prompts i couldnt even name any of the adverts on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Surely everyone clicks the adverts every day as its only good for the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturdaygig Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 hadn't really noticed there are any...now you come to mention it. Don't really know what 'filter them out' means though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Once clicked on an ebay add for a signed Phil Bardsley Villa photo. Unsurprisingly, the bidding was still at 99p...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Surely everyone clicks the adverts every day as its only good for the site. This is true isn't it? I'm sure they get paid per clicks. If so i'm all for clicking away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6bloke Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I click a couple of times a week as i know they get paid for it though promotion of this is not allowed from what i remember. I stand corrected otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I screen them out. I vaguely notice where adverts are, whether they are in newspapers, on hoardings, or on websites, and I don't look at them. If they are pop-ups, I use software settings for that. If the site has pop-ups that get past this, I try to avoid the site. Am also on the Telephone Preference Service and its postal equivalent. I block spammers, don't take cold calls at work, and if one gets through, I will either waste their time or be very curt with them in telling them not to call me. I watch very little tv, leave the room when adverts come on, or else read while they play. I really don't like adverts. Apart from the ones in Viz.

PompeyVillan Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Never had done. But knowing it was good for funding the site, I'll be doing so more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 2, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2009 I couldn't vote because i've never clicked on one. However I didn't realise it helped the site out if I did, so I'll make an effort to do so from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzep Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 How much doe sit help the site? is it pay per click or is it more liek pay perthousand clicks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 i haven't clicked on the ads at all, as i thought they only helped the site if you clicked through & bought something? but if just clicking on the adverts help out the site, then i will click away everytime i come on the site.

ender4 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 ps - could a mod or site admin confirm that just clicking on them DOES help the site or not? wouldn't want everyone clicking on them if it doesn't help the site at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 2, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought the clicking the ads getting money for the site was a myth? Sure I read limpid say that a good while back now. I never click em anyway, never interest me and most of the time I don't really notice em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzep Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Like chindie said, I dont notice them either, but i dotn mind spending a minut eor so clicking on a few ads to raise some funds until i can next donate, unles it requires millions of clicks that is!
