Adverts
Hi Martin

Have you added adverts to the website even when logged in ?
Logged in, I am seeing adverts (for the first time) appearing between

"Round DEFENDER2 stickers now available! £2+P&P. click here to buy"
and the main forum "Home> Site News & Feedback > Post a new topic"

Cheers 1999 Defender TD5 110

I don't like thew adverts either.......but then I am not paying towards the site.

Martin if the "sponsors" who I think benefit greatly from Defender2 don't want to pay. What would a membership system cost us for Advert free use of Defender2?

Just a thought

Regards

Rob

G4UJS good suggestion, I’d happily pay rather than have these adverts popping up, I do realise not only the monetary costs of the forum but also your time Martin which is greatly appreciated by us all.

Would be interesting to get other forum members feedback on this, perhaps a poll?

Initially it maybe hard to set up, effectively having to lock us out until we pay our subscription then having made payment your allowed access, I’m sure it may not sit well with some after all you can’t please everyone all of the time but also there is no such thing as a free lunch either.

Hopefully we can have a sensible thread here with people making useful suggestions to aid Martin in keeping this excellent forum running Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90

I assume that the advertising uses one of these cunning (and scary) methods for detemining your "special interests" and targetting the ads?

For some reason I seem to be getting ads about gabion baskets and lifting equipment! I am certainly not getting the more risque end of the market! Big Cry

I am happy to accept ads as a necessary evil (I'd rather they weren't there) provided that they don't become too intrusive. Another forum I used to be involved in in a small way I ditched entirely because the ads became so overwhelming that normal forum conduct became in my opinion impossible.

I initially thought I would be happy paying to get rid of the adverts, but looking at the adverts excossack is getting, I am not so sure now Thumbs Up Could this not be a good revenue earner with the 'right kind of advert for the discerning Defender driver'?

Seriously, I wouldn't mind a subscription. I am not sure how easy it would be on this kind of a platform, but many apps have free versions with adverts, or you pays your money to get rid of the adverts.

Not sure what others think?

Ads service is ubiquitous Google ads.

I'm just running this for a day or so at the moment to see what the feedback is and get a small amount of data on potential revenue from the ads.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Martin, excuse my ignorance, but how do the ads work in the favour of the forum? Is it on a payment per click basis, percentage of transactional revenue spent following the ad, or a nominal fee just for being on our screens?

Obviously I understand if you dont wish to divulge. Thumbs Up 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

I'm not seeing any adverts? Very pleased Very Happy I appreciate it costs money to run a forum and advertising helps cover this cost but I wouldn't want too much advertising. I've pretty much given up on FB now because of all the irrelevant advertising and IG seems to be getting worse too. Personally, I'd rather pay a reasonable joining fee than have excessive adverts. James

James does that mean you didn’t see the advert showing the two very hot ladies stripping off to reveal the new Defender early, I didn’t notice the long awaited reveal of the defender but their was some impressive bodywork on show and the sump guard certainly impressed me Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter 2015 HT XS 90
