All - currently we are spending over £200 per month on advertising which although sustainable has meant it is a MUST we add more advertising and ways to generate revenue to the site. We will tweak the settings and display over time and listen to any comments made :)

 

As we grow we need a site that generates revenue to pay for future competitions, future design changes and any other associated software charges.

 

We run the site for the community, the adverts are to make sure that BuzzJack's future remains strong and we are able to move forward in the directions we need.

i dont like it i have leona ads everywhere its like myspace lol

I dont like it either but whatever is best for the forum. I'll get used to it I guess.

I dont like the sidebar, but if Buzzjack needs it then i guess il make do LOL

Meh, I'm here for the discussion, not how the forum looks. :lol: [That sounds incredibly cheesy. :kink: ]

I have my grievances about the side ad. It just leaves a rather ugly looking white margin making the forum look all squashed to the left once you scroll past it :(

not a fan of the side ad,

 

the top and bottom ads i dont mind

Same goes for me. I dont mind adds but the side one looks a bit messy.

Too many in the face ads can put people off too.

 

Yes we need ad revenue to increase, but I can't see the side one helping in particular. The percentage of people who click through ads is well small to say the least, even on a site of this size. The top and bottom ones are pretty standard and I think most guests could live with them, as could members.

Is it me, or do the online users at the bottom look bigger :wacko: :blink:

 

I guess the side ad is effecting the structure of the board

Leona + gay partnership ads

 

It's like they've tailored these ads to the dominating plastick majority :o

OK, you guys speak with your feet :D

 

I have removed the side ad :)

YAY

Love you phil :D

Ooh much better :heehee:

Looks much better.What other possibilities are there for ads ?

fantastic :wub:

 

if we need the moneys then you could use a bigger bottom add

it is essentially to put them in places that people will see them,

 

So for members they are:

 

Globally at the top

At the bottom of each page of a topic

 

and for guests there is an additional one after the first post in a topic.

 

I will see how the top ad impacts :D

 

Okidoki :)

Is it possible to have the ads moved to the bottom rather the top when you open the main page of each AF? It is really offputting, but I wouldn't mind at all if they were on the bottom?

unfortunately not as it is globally at the top. I am working on something to incorporate the AF banner into our own banner going forward so im hoping this will help.
