(...) 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)

(...) It's not like you watching a commercial though - it's like you turning on the TV when you're not home, so that the rating of a show goes up (and therefor it's revenue from commercials). If you follow a link of interest, and end up not buying, (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish)

(...) 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)

(...) I don't think you want to do that. It might get Sean in trouble for (URL) click fraud>. Just click on the ads that you are actually interested in. Marc Nelson Jr. (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) what excellent news! I've been a very happy user of the mocpages site for a few years now, after a fellow local lego nut convinced me to jump into it, and like the voting/comments aspect of it, but the new features you've mentioned sound (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

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)

(...) While MOCpages will always be MOC-centric, I won't restrict the service to just MOCs. It would be great if you could casually peruse photos from big events like Brickworld or of people's LEGO storage systems, because these things all tie back (...)
