Just a reminder.. Please click the banner ads!! Click throughs have REALLY dropped off within the last 20 days.

Always remember, A click a day goes a long way!!

Do you control which ones come up or is that controled by someone else?? I know you said that the "focus" one wasn't that good of a hit but that's all that I've been seeing lately. Just curious.

Try holding down Shift and then press the ad.

Robert why don't you just make a page (Front Door if you will) where
we are required to Click a number of Ad's before we are allowed to
access the site.

I doubt this would be a problem(atleast not by me) I don't mind helping
at all. I just don't think about these Ad's to be honest with you. I guess
I am just an FX type of guy. Now if there was a picture of a model in say
a "Dental Floss type of Bikinni" Boink, Click,Click,Click.


Advertising means catching peoples attention! As far as interests go per
user ? Robert, Look at the average age of each user who enters here
each day. Do you think that they care about Acid Reflux Disease?

I seriously doubt it #Beer


Click for Access


I could afford to do this each day rather then paying $10 or $20 bucks a
month that was suggested. Not that this community isn't worth it, It
is! My money is just too Funny for me to contribute .

Click for Access is the way to go. Get some stuff that you can purchase
from the Ville Store that people can buy with credits that are earned by
Clicking Banners. (Motivation) Maybe for people who keep a certain
Banner Ratio they can earn a reserved seat on a server. (Some kind
of point system could be installed)

whatever path that you choose to go Robert I don't think it will matter to your true diehard Villuns ? I'd rather "Click for Access" then see the Ville go down the tubes for good. SpeCies #alien

THat's a technique used by alot of sites like those people should never mention in public It's a pain in the rear, and causes alot more hurt feelings than banner ads do.

Right now, I think a gentle nudge like this is more than enough. IF clickthroughs don't go up...send out the not so gentle reminders like the one you mentioned.

Even though I hate them, you could edit the HTML so that it popups the link that the banners use. I wouldn't recommend it (its annoying), but I think it would be kind of a last measure thing
