I never scroll lower than the last post though, so I never see the rest - and could care less to anyway. __________________   01-12-2009, 12:23 PM   #5 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,374 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Jim M Dang there are ads at the bottom of the page, never looked down there before.

So far this month, they've earned CoinTalk a grand total of $0.41. So, I figure I may as well just delete them. Keeping Ruben happy is probably worth $0.41. lol __________________ Your Friendly Host Take a moment to answer an unanswered question!   01-12-2009, 12:22 PM   #8 (permalink) snaz Registry fever     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Alberta, Canada Posts: 3,011 My Mood: are the ads based on a per click payout?

I think I clicked one once Only the Google text ads pay each time they're clicked, but Google wouldn't like me anymore if I encouraged anyone to click the ads, so only click those if you're seriously interested in what's being advertised. The Amazon links, the Ebay links, the banners on top, y'all can click away at those to your heart's content. If you're buying something from our sponsors, like Jack's banner on top, be sure to say thanks for supporting CoinTalk when you're buying. __________________ Your Friendly Host Take a moment to answer an unanswered question!   01-12-2009, 12:29 PM   #10 (permalink) spock1k King of Hearts   Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,559 Quote: Originally Posted by Peter T Davis So I got curious and checked the stats on those square ads in the bottom.
