I've notices that there are google ads on the forum and "13 DAYS TILL THE HSC" in bold.... i demand an explanation! :p :)
Google ads earn the site money. If you love bos then click the ads because they're pay per click. How much do you guys get per click?

I personally reckon bos shoulda just had advertising popups, then the stupid people using internet explorer would suffer while us mozilla firefox people would sit back and laugh :cool:

Hopefully the Google ads will help us out a little. :)

They're meant to be targeted at the content of each thread... I think they're still 'adjusting' to our forums.

I can't remember how much we earn, but I don't think it's very much. Nevertheless, maybe it will help.

I don't really know. We're not allowed to actively encourage you to click the advertisements.

Presumably, Google has ways of guessing whether a click was 'genuine' or not.

I'd suggest just acting as though you were a casual user - which is what you are. :)

I'm thinking we should click on the ads and allow them to fully load before closing the window? Or do we have to play around and click at random stuff within the advertisment itself?
