How do I donate money to BoS ? (2 Viewers)

[seremify007]

I'd like to see the introduction of paid subscriber accounts. It's a system used very well on neowin.net, where members can pay 9.95 per year, get an @boredofstudies.org email account, and a nice 'subscriber' logo in orange under their avatar.

Yeh this isn't a charity so we might as well be able to be seen as a non-freerider.. although I don't like the idea of being 'commited' to having donate $10 a year.. Sure it's a lot less than just donating $50 in one hit, but I prefer being able to donate as much or as little as I please.

Btw I'd donate.. i mean, i've downloaded notes every now & then and asked Q's on the forum... i've also met some very good people on the forums. As for how much, who knows? We'll see.

BoS could always false advertise and say if they get enough money then they will stop the lag.. Then i think everyone would hand over money lol

 

[redruM]

how much do you get for a click of an ad?

 

[Lazarus]

It varies, depending on the advertisement.

But every click helps.

 

[seremify007]

Even if we don't buy anything?

**Clicks on all the ads**

What actually constitues an ad, like 30 econds viewing the site or bringing up the page and then closing it?

We don't know, because Google doesn't tell us - our stats from last month seem to indicate that it ranged from (deleted) to (deleted) per click.

Hmm, a campaign to get users clicking ads sounds good.

Do you have to wait for the whole page to load before BoS gets the moolah?

Not as far as I am aware.

[mr_brightside]

I usually let the page load and then click on a link or two just for good measure.

hmm i thought i had read somewhere on the internets that revealing what you get paid for google ads can get you in big trouble, they really discourage it at the very least.

but mebbe not.

Hmm, whoops, you are in fact correct:

I've deleted the details from my previous post accordingly.
