Why'd you add ads??!

 

They make it look, well, weird. I don't like it.

Because having the ads will bring us 4x our current traffic levels within 2 months. They're not that bad.

And how do you know that?

 

Sorry, I just thought you wouldn't want ads.

It's a contractual arrangement.

 

Nobody wants ads, its just that the benefits outweigh having them.

Indeed. I don't find them particularly intrusive though. But like faf said, we felt that a few ads to bring in more traffic would be worth it.

I think they look cute

I can cut and paste letters from them and cheat at scrabble too! )

I have to say, I didn't notice them for about 10 minutes before it became particularly apparent.

What scrabble?

Is this one of those reputation-based games, or are you making it up?

Ohhhh, I get it now! If you have the Google ads, will Google feature you or move you up on science related searches?

No.

 

AdSense allows you to generate revenue by placing the banner on your site. You get n cents per click on a banner that is placed through crawling of relevant material, where n is the "cost per click" chosen by the owner of the ad (using the complementary AdWords system).

 

You get nothing for clicks on banners that were placed randomly if the spider could not crawl relevant material on your page, although facilities exist to allow you to show different banners if no relevance is returned by Google's crawl.

 

The AdWords program allows you to place targetted ads on Google (those that appear at the top right of search results) and their affiliates. You can choose how much you want to pay for every click on one of your ads, and the cents-per-click you choose directly affects the frequency with which your ads are shown. Keyword-hogging is prevented by ensuring that a banner has to generate a certain number of clicks for every matching keyword that summons the ad.

 

This system is how Google gets around the whole issue of people paying to go up in the rankings, which is a practice they don't believe in.
