Google Ads

[jacek]

Google just gave me £55 worth of adwords, so if you happen to see an advert, do not click it !

Also, because it was free, this does not mean I have abandoned my no adverts policy

Can't you somehow trade back the adverts for real cash?

That would be nice but no

Not really, no. But you can make your advert point to a site with tons of google adsense on it.

I've been noticing a lot of advertisement-like usernames, and thought something was fishy.…

Yeah, they haven't made any posts though, and there are no website links in their profile. So I just left them

That may happen here at some point

The only anti-spam is reCaptcha at signup.

Yeah. My guestbook would have like 300 ads, then I added a reCAPTCHA, and it disappeared!
And I put reCAPTCHA on the forum. Here's hopin'!



I hate ads!

Google tends to send out coupons like this really easily. I think I have received three over the last few years. They used to be €75, but lately it seems €25 was what they gave away.

I guess you would have to spend thousands to get a decent increase in users.

Depends on what currency you're using I used 2.000 SEK (190 GBP) and I did get a serious increase in both active users and views on the forum I ran a while back. You just have to target the right audience with your keywords.

I get checks from google for 200 SEK (20 GBP) every once in a while, and I am able to share these with whoever I want.
So I could donate my next check towards the growth of Betterphp if you want.

If I wanted your money, there would be a donate button on the forum.

thanks for the offer but I don't really need it.

Hmm, for anti-spam make it so that any account with < like 3 posts after 1 week of creation gets an reactivation email?

[bowersbros]

after a week of that you get banned or deleted?

He said anti-spam mods, but I didnt find any of those. captcha seems to be working so far.
