| I didn't intend to suggest that anyone who served in-thread ads was only interested in money. My apologies to anyone who mis-understood me as such. Everyone has different tastes and prefered formats, of course. |

I have adsense on my forum too. It's good as far as it goes. The idea is to make it as unobtrusive as possible, but whether you like it or not (and this applies to all kinds of advertising: banner ads/text ads/whatever ads) most people just don't click the ads...

I used adsense when they launched, and up until around the start of this year, it was great. But then all of a sudden, the amount we were getting per clicks dropped, we left it run for 4 months anyway, but still, the price we were getting for each click wasn't worth it, so binned adsense and went back to affiliate links.

As far as ads go I've always found the google adsense ones to be the ones I am most likely to click on. Not that I do all that often, but when I do click ads it is usually an adsense one.

Hehe, I was just joking. But people who know you run the site, and know you'll get money for ads being clicked are bound to click it more, whether you volantarily tell them or not. Besides google can never prevent verbal notification

Yes I agree. Even though google has loads of IP trackign schemes to detect most false, duplicate clicks we should try and use it cleanly. As they are probably prompt with the money, so should we be with following the rules.
