So Matt got the Google ads all set up for Club409. Instructions for maximizing profit will follow soon, but for now, witness the appropriateness of content-based ad selection:
Every day I marvel at what man has accomplished. Today, it was spot-on targeted advertising at its best.
Do the ads have to be at the top? They're messing with the feng shui of my desktop.
lol. The ads for this page are for "targeted advertising" from yahoo, adsonar, and webposition. Doesn't get more pertinent than that. That's meta-pertinent.

Although I wont stop you from talking about the ads, I will ask you not to draw undue attention to them (at least, after this thread has died out). There are certain rules i'm supposed to follow if this is to stay on the up-and-up (i.e., google doesn't sue my balls off).
what does everyone think about the ads on the left side rather than the top?
I prefer them on top. To the left makes the page look too busy. I get distracted from the wonderful conversations that go on here...
i like the side mucho major. on top made them seem more important that the club 409 banner, which is a sin in itself.
I agree with Mike. Leave the ads on the side.
Bottom > Right Side > Left Side > Top, in my book
Right side is pretty much the only one that's out of the question (simply because of the basic layout of the pages, which i dont really want to mess with). I could put it on the bottom.. that'd probably work fine. but then you all might miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase some Turnip Twadlers because you didn't happen to see the ad.
Ok so I read my Terms and Conditions from Google, and I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to tell you how much money we've made. For the month of November, we've got $16.86. Not the cash machine that I'd hoped it would be, but it's still more money than we've made using any other (disclosable) 409 tactics.
So the whole Get Firefox thing has its own website:
ExplorerDestroyer.
I especially like the chart for the transfer of wealth.

*bump* click ads, people. this site's gotta pay for itself somehow =p
pyramid scheme?
hmm... current ad: "Beat the adwords system!"
coincidences galore
i vote to keep the ads up in case club409.com gets inadvertently displayed during the super bowl or something, i didn't find the ads intrusive at all

alright so I just logged in to the adsense account. it says we've got $99.13 socked away. All we need is 87 cents, and that glorious google money is ours. If only I would finish the next version of 409 so the ads could be loaded on every possible page :)
i never knew there were ads...
i disabled them on this version, they'll be on here whenever i get the new version done.. which took a step forward today :-D
