Hello all,
The past few months I have been test marketing Google adsense on the forum. The ads were shown to unregistered or unlogged in members... Ads were placed 2 per thread, one to the side of the first post in the thread.. the other was placed to the side of the last post in the thread. After playing around with this ad source for a while now I am pretty comfortable with the way the system works. What this means is I am going to be expanding it through out SimplyDiscus. Its not an easy decision for me, something I need to do here. The ads will start becoming visible to registered members as of today. I will try my best to make the ads as unobtrusive as I can.
I have started with the Buy, sell, trade sections as I have repeated suggested members that sell there donate to the forum and unfortunately that rarely happens. This way at least some funds may come back to the forum. I have also set the ads to show in the "talking to me section of the forum" As I go forward I will evaluate what other areas to use them....
Short FAQ:
1) How do these ads work?... The forum recieves funds when you visit those ad sites..more info here..

2) Who will see these ads? ... all registered users, non-registered users, and unlogged in users.
3) Who will not see these ads?... Admins, Moderators, Sponsors, Premium Subscribers (Homesteaders, Silver members, Gold members, and Platinum members... info on these subscriptions is here...http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?104050
4) Why are these ads being implimented?... To generate funds for this website. Many websites use this method.
Questions may be directed to me by Pm.
Thank you,
