How much do google ads actually generate for maaca? They're pretty silly.

This isn't a complaint. I'm just sayin'....

I still can't figure out what this one means:

never seen them .... Ad Block is great

Agreed. I just installed it.

Approximate worth of total transactions done through the classifieds on MAACA since the beginning: approximately over 730000$ worth.

Total donations received since August 2004:  320$

Total paid just for the website: approximately 800$

Total side costs: approximately 3000$

Total labor hours put in by admins:  approximately over 8000 labor hours


Any questions now why they are there?

I didn't question why they are there. I was just wondering how much revenue they actually generate.

take 'em out and we'll gladly send donations!! I've asked you a bunch of times!!

I would love to donate, but can't find the donate button... ?    

/me slaps Sparky for paying for hosting!!

I told you I'd host MAACA for free, no strings attached!  I've hosted CGCC for I think 5 years now?  Again.. no strings attached.  Not even looking to be an admin or anything (though that ended up happening on CGCC, but purely because I'm such a charming fellow...)

As for the question about what that ad means, I think there's a typo in it.  Should read: "Click here for virus".

I'm curious about how they work as well however, is it paid by the number of times a page is refreshed on the site, or by the actual hits on the ads?  If it's the latter, I doubt Sparky sees much, if anything.

Read my shirt on my avatar. You just have to PM me. We will look into having a donations tab with the new software.

In the meantime, if you do wish to donate, like the sticky post says in the Forums section, just send it through Paypal to sparky@maaca.net . Simple as that.

As for hosting, we are inching towards the process with Websherpa. It's just that everyone has been very busy lately.

I will call that bluff. We once went over a year without any ads, and got no donations at all.

I don't see it. I told Azatotht to keep it for himself to at least pay for some of his time.
