Is it per click on the ad?
Or a combination of both?
I'm not saying not to have them either. For a fan to create the site with their own money for a team that won't, that fan needs to get back that money plus a little more for keeping the site up and running.
Revenue is generated from the ads based on clicks and impressions (how many times the ad was viewable for a full second on any page).
I resisted using ads for the 1st year because, to be honest, I'm not a fan of them myself...so I didn't want you guys to have to look at them either. However, the reality is that as the site continues to grow and use/need more resources, the ads will help cover the cost.
I understand those who don't like looking at ads, which is why I placed them on the very bottom of pages, so that it doesn't interfere with the actual content.
My goal/focus is to guarantee that we have a home for years to come, and while ads can be annoying, the revenue they generate will help to make sure that happens.
