Google AdSense
Google AdSense
You may have noticed that we are now running Google AdSense text-only ads on the bottom of the forum topic pages. This is purely an experiment at this point, the idea being to generate a little revenue to possibly pay for advertising and hosting for the MUD. I've tried to make the ads as unobtrusive as possible.
Note: We will not ask ever ask you to click our links to support us, this is clearly against Google's Terms of Service, and also something which I would find personally offensive. If you find something useful in one of those ads, by all means explore it, but no exploitation of the ad revenue system will be encouraged or tolerated by the TorilMUD staff.
If you dislike the ads or find one in particular that is not suitable for these forums, please e-mail me at shevarash@gmail.com, or PM me here.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

I couldn't see them when I had the Chronicles background. I changed it to sub black and can see them now.
Is it just not enabled for certain backgrounds?

Update:
Apparently the Google code had some trouble targetting the actual content of posts and wound up targetting all of their ads towards phpBB related software.
I explicitly marked the thread contents for targetting, and Google crawled us yesterday, so you should see a dramatic improvement in the quality of the AdSense ads. If you've been ignoring these for awhile because of the poor content targetting, you may want to start paying attention again.

Have we tried advertising with Google? Not sure how much the clicks cost, but might be worth it.
I ask because the Advertising Outside the Box thread has advertising for DDO online and Shattered Kingdoms.

Any plans to bring this back with the phpbb3 board?

Re: Google AdSense
Its on the list after an Amazon affiliate link. :)
Having said all that, the situation has been handled, so this thread is pretty much at an end. -Kossuth

Well...the Google ads haven't exactly brought in a torrent of cash, but every little bit helps I suppose. I do plan on getting it up and running on the new boards in the near future.

Re: Google AdSense
I know Corth has beat the Amazon link to death and you have other stuff to work on Shev, but it is a good idea.
I had adsense on my forum when I ran it for Orbdrin D'oloth and you're right it wasn't terribly lucrative, but it was some income. Another spot for a little cash is the getfirefox links from google. You get a buck for everytime someone installs FX from your link.
