This should be fixed now. I had forgotten that the mobile version was still loading ads from the kitmaker adserver (which included client ads and some google ads).
To everyone else:
So now Patrons don’t see ads. If you don’t like ads… become a patron. We use to have over 100+ users in our old PayPal subscriber system. Today we have 32 active patrons.
Shame really. I hope folks that are regular here will step up and help you out. I will do what I can as I enjoy what this modeling site has to offer. And I love the fact posting photos is so easier compare to other places. I used to upload my photos to photobucket and then add a link to show any image. glad those days are over
@staff_Jim, I am still seeing an ad when I click onto Forums button on the main page. Not that it bothers me but i started seeing it few days ago and it’s still up today.
Alas I can’t switch off ads for patrons on all the sites, just the forum once you are here. If you are on Armorama you will see those ads. Luckily from my testing it that ‘vignette’ ad (what Google calls it) only pops up once near the start of a visit and then doesn’t come back for a long while. I did kill the footer ad that was on the page prior because for me anyway I would rather hit close once than have that ad at the bottom of the page. That and apparently the vignette ads are paying more for placement.
I clicked on a few of these ads just so that they would get “locked in place”
(to prevent a return of the tobacco ads). Not much of an improvment but
at least I think it is better than the tobacco ads.
Clicking on ads generates a tiny bit extra revenue for the site
BUT
most importantly it allows YOU to have a say in what kind of ads you get.
Do some google searches to show google what you are interested in,
if/when Google decides to show you and ad for something that is less
offensive than the random choice then click on it for dear life to
make sure that Google knows what you prefer to see.
Google gets paid more for ads that viewers (i.e. we, “the goods” in
the marketing world) select to click and follow.
Youtube is also a way to inform Google about what kind of marketing
bubble you want to belong to. Search for videoclips about tools, car repairs,
hobby related, cute kittens or whatever your preference is.
