Forum Ads
-
I usually hate ads. That said. I haven't seen one so far on the forum! So it is completely inconspicuous. I have no aversion to non intrusive ads.
Besides, I think it's great revenue to help offset the costs that help provide the forum for the entire community.
Kudos for the idea.
And the comments above are also great contributions.
This forum continually amazes me regarding supporting each other. It's inspiring

@haitch when would you have this asset ready?
-
@Username Talking with Crowetic about it at the moment, soon I'd expect.
-
@haitch it looks like on my browser (google chrome) that there is some room on the bottom of the page for you to stack a couple of banner ads
-
@Username If you do a refresh they should be there. For some reason Chrome they stop displaying after a while.
-
@haitch i mean like you could put more than one on the bottom and it wouldnt be noticable because most people dont even notice the one you put there in the first place
-
@Username - I want to keep them as unobtrusive as possible; I was reluctant to even put any ads up all. So one in the footer is all there will ever be. What we're looking at for the asset is: $50 a month will be taken out to cover half my hosting costs, and 33% will be taken out to cover what the IRS is going to want from me, the balance goes back to the community who invest in the asset and tolerate the ads.
Details of the asset are being finalized, but roughly what we're looking at is 1M shares @ 50 Burst each. 250K to be released in the first offering. The funding of the asset will be (income from ads) - (33% for the tax I'll need to pay on that income) - ($50 which is 50% of my hosting cost - I'll pay the other 50%). The remaining funds will be converted to Burst, and proportionally distributed to asset holders. I estimate, on current click-thru rate, that this will be about 250K Burst/month, depending on how many people click on the ads. The more clicks, the more income, the more Burst that will be payable.

@haitch that will help the Burst value so much with the constant buying. its pay per click? not pay per view?

@haitch never any add appears to me... i have being asset ideas simillar to this too... defenatly gonna invest
-
@haitch big up for keeping the ads invisible! I did not even notice them until stumbling upon this thread. Anyway, just wanted to say that I would not mind even more ads, it does not make a difference to me. If it lets you enrich the BURST forum and network even more, I say you could get some more banners on the site.
-
@jonekk I agree, haven't seen a banner yet. Next to that, I think it is a really nice idea to be making an asset of this, keeps things in the community!

@jonekk The ads will always be non-intrusive - I'm not going to do top of page, middle of the thread, in your face banner ads, they're all down it the footers at the tailend of the page. However, based on the feed back here that the ads aren't bothering anybody, and to add more, it's now a double ad in the footer, hopefully that will remain as unobtrusive as the single one was.
-
@haitch i have more blank space on the footer and didn't appear anything so maybe you are not getting the most views on that footer...
-
Guys, you have to deactivate your adblocks to see the ads.
-
@daWallet i have no active Adblocks... And i'm on chrome
-
I'm with gpedro on this. I have chrome, no adblockers and I can't see the ads either. (good for me, but I can't click on the ads to help raise revenue because I can't see them either)
Another idea might be to put an ad or three on the faucets page? Let's face it, we're getting burst for free from the faucet page, I don't ads, but when it means I get something for free, I don't argue about it. I'll even click on the ads if it helps.
Just an idea to consider if you want to.
-
@daWallet @Leece couldn't agree more, ads on the faucets page is a great idea! I got used to the tons of ads on BTC faucets anyway :D
@haitch I see only one ad at the bottom of the page, using Chrome, no adblock whatsoever
-
@jonekk yeah two ads was too many, took it back to one.
@Leece If you do a refresh on Chrome do they show? Chrome will often stop showing them to me until I refresh.
