(...) On top of this, click padding/click fraud throws the whole system off. The core concept is based on a system that tracks, reports, and allows advertisers to respond based on real interest. For instance, if I'm selling widgets and am using (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish)

This is something I was hoping would happen as a result of the discontinuation of Brickshelf. I for one would gladly pay to use MOC pages -- although my concern is that that would make it difficult for kids to use the site. As for the MOC comments, (...)

(...) It depends on the ad. Some ads pay out on a cost-per-view, and others pay out on a cost-per-click. It is up to the advertiser to decide how they want their ad to work in this regard. This is actually a good thing, because some advertisers just (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) Hmm, guess I won't do that then. It does see odd to me. The idea of advertising is the more eyeballs the better. My TV doesn't penalize me for watching the commercials even if I don't buy anything. To the contrary, they are hoping that since I (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) IIRC, Google ads actually penalizes sites that end up with many clicks on ads that do not actually end up in sales? It certainly penalizes the advertisers that have such ads. Dan (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish)

Hey Sean, I've got a question about ads. Do you gain revenue every time I log onto the site and see the ad, or do I actually have to click on it? If the latter, I think we in the community could make the very minor commitment to click on ads when we (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) I don't like the ads anymore than you do, it kills me to see them there. But MOCpages had to shift to an advertising model (from a donation model) to stay alive. It's a sad truth. Over 1,000,000 people visit MOCpages every month... most of (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
