PSA: If you like TBT, don't use adblock.

[That Zephyr Guy]

From what I've read recently, apparently Jeremy pays for the site out of pocket.

I also noticed, after logging on from college, that there's an ad on the bottom of the site - which I'm assuming is to help pay for the site.

If you use the site frequently, you should probably keep adblock off while browsing the site because the ad revenue will help pay for the site that we use every day.

I thought ad revenue only came if you actually clicked on it, and why the hell would I click an advert for wedding photographs?

 

[seliph]

**** tha police

i don't even have adblock plus they're not really that noticeable so i don't see why you would use adblock in the first place

yeah, on tbt theyre actually in a tolerable place but im too lazy to remove adblockers

Hi all, please be sure to not click ads for the sake of clicking them. This is against Google Ads rules because it messes up their calculations for paying publishers and charging advertisers.

But we do appreciate it if you don't use Ad Block because the ads pay for our expenses to keep this place running!

I've already disabled AdBlock on this site as the ads on here are non-intrusive and I want to help keep the site going. I do click it sometimes, but they're genuine clicks so it should all be good.

Nah, it comes from people just seeing the advert, though I believe genuine clicks give a considerable boost. Got AdSense set up myself and have earned ?300 through it but don't really know how to make much use of the statistics, lol. Also... the adverts are based on what Google thinks you'd be most interested in, which in your case, is wedding photos. For example, all the adverts on this site for me are about RuneScape... and guess what game is open in another window.

With that post count, you could've given Jeremy some change in his pocket by now...

I only have AdBlock due to Wikia having way too many pop-ups and such.
Plus those pesky websites like the Daily Mail I try to avoid.

I've been here a year, and the ads have only been recently :v

 

[Dubstep4Dayz]

I shall do the disabling of the Ad Blocker Plus

Huh.

Time to celebrate with some Quentin Blake!

 

[Togekid]

I just white-listed this site. It's the only site I have white-listed lol. I use AdBlock mainly because my computer's really slow when there are a bunch of ads popping up everywhere.

 

[Alienfish]

Eventually removed it. I only have it off for this site and Flight Rising though.

Youtube can go **** itself with its 5 ads per 3 minute videos >>

A lot of channels don't really have anything in the way of adverts. Those video ads where you have to sit through five seconds pay out really well so if you're going to make videos and claim revenue, I recommend you enable them.

I'm way too active on the Bell Tree HQ section.

I'm glad they've started with ads here. Given the size and scope of the site, the absence of ads, and the absence of membership fees, I was starting to wonder if this whole thing was just a front for deep, deep, google-style Nintendo marketing analytics.

and ive also been sorely tempted on the many threads whining here to tell people to ask for a refund of their membership fee!!

Try going to a site like BBC News or Wikipedia. If you get adverts there then you may have some sort of adware.

And yeah, Google gets 40% of the revenue from YouTube videos. But hey, video hosting is expensive business and at least the creator gets over half.
