Ads?

Always been curious about how ads work. Does the site get more revenue if there are clicks on the ads, or is it based on page views? Just need to know if I should be clicking more.

Both.
 
That means you build your own server farm and host it and take care of it yourself. I have a big roll of cash to go burn. BBL. ;) Yeah, that's why I just spent an 18 hour shift fixing a borked ad server system. Jeez. NEVER USE SPINBOX.

Is $5 really too much? Genmay is easily worth 5x that, plus that $5 makes a great moron filter.

If you buy something from an advertiser and they have the option; don't forget to pick or type in HardOCP or Hardforums as the place you heard about them. I don't think there's any extra revenue, but it's definitely not a bad thing to underline where the traffic is coming from. ;)

I am so rich now I have come full circle and stay up all night fixing code just for fun. ;)
 
you was pretty harsh on spinbox on the front page (not saying it wasn't earned) - have they noticed that? :p
