An update on this: The ads have been running on the site now for just over two weeks, i.e. around half a month. My earnings for that period are just under $20, so we're probably talking about earnings of between $35 and $40 for a full month. I'm not really willing to assume that the return will continue like this, but if it did, the Google ads should pay for the Foot.ie server one month in three. Pure greed pete, eh?

Right, so what do ye think? Are they annoying you or getting in your way? Have you actually seen something that interested you? In other words: Do I let 'em run or don't I?

Just out of interest, are you paid per click, if so, would you no just, click on them for a solid 5-10 minutes and boost your income? *

Is there anyway, you could control the colours of the ads?

I'd forgotten about those! Now that I've remembered, I'm outraged again.

If you're getting money out of them, you may as well keep them. A green background colour would be neater though.

theres an interesting article in the Irish Times today which you may find interesting (normal people wont). Its on Page 4 of their business supplement. Its about google and their advertising software etc.

one bit is funny

"And googles targeted advertising is not perfect. Mr Dunne has part of his site dedicated to information on the ongoing case of the IRA double-agent codenamed Stakeknife. Sure enough, the banner advertisments on that page detected the content: and began offering readers great deals on steak knives".

Read my lips: None. Nada. Zip. Zero. Nothing. We don't run advertising, so we don't see why you should. And be warned, this applies to everyone, even if it's just your own homepage, or you're doing it for a charity you volunteer for. If you want to advertise on Foot.ie, for anything, you need to talk to us first. If it's a worthy cause, we'll probably work something out for you for free, but you have to ask. The only caveat here is that you can stick a link in your sig as long as it's not too obtrusive.

Tsk,Tsk, Breaking your own rules!!!
