ACARS verbals 2009 thread has an ad from www.learnshares.com.au advertising free seminars in all major cities. Bonus of free seminar and DVD.

You will have to be REAL quick though. It expires on 30/1/09

I hav not been bothered by the ads until tonight.

Evertytime I navigate to a new page, the google ads take quite a few seconds to load after the page has finished loading. You cannot click on any links until the google ad download finishes.

Can i suggest that the mods have it so that registered members do not have the ads appear (or maybe just at the bottom).

Numerous forums i visit have this, and if YSSY really does get a few thousand hits from search engines, then that would be enough, surely, to generate revenue to cover the costs of the site (ie web hosting and vbulletin liscence).

Would you be willing to fork out for the costs then Rhys?

Oh yea mate1.com came up. Matt what are you doing to us all!!! Good idea perhaps we can all do our bit every time we log on so it works for us in the long term. What harm does one click do when you have finished reading?

Sorry, I'm confused?

The costs for the website?

Surely if YSSY does get '000's of hits then enough revenue could be generated to seriously decrease the costs for those that pay for the upkeep of the forum?

Well Rhys, unless you're going to pay the costs, then I suggest you be happy with the ad no matter what.

Admin,

out of curiosity, are the Google ads helping the boards finances?

The google ads are covering around 40-50% of our costs at the moment, so we're pretty happy to keep them.

Ads are causing no problems my way. Keep up the good work Gents! Barely notice they are there to be honest. Has become such a normal way of internet life.
