1/3 of 1%

One THIRD of ONE PERCENT.

That's the clickthru ratio on the banners.

To break even, that needs to be no less than three quarters of one percent. A little more than double of what's being done now.

What I'm asking isn't much. One visit on a sponsor a day, take just a moment of your time and check them out.

One click a day, people.

One.

If you don't, I won't have the money it takes to keep us afloat.

Feel guilty yet?

Good.

???

Well, it appears to be a (hopefully temporary) bug of some sort, but I just tried to click on the ad at the bottom of the page, and nothing happened.

I right-clicked, and discovered there was only an image, but no link.

P.S.: Apparently it was temporary. The ad at the bottom of the "reply page" worked.

Go fig.

Only one click per six hours counts. Browsing the sponsor's site is highly reccomended.

Well THAT'S daft.. I could explore DOZENS of sites in 6 hours.

At the very least, It should count per banner per 6 hours, anyway. It's not YOUR fault half the sites they put banners up for are dull as mud...

Mmm...debt consolidation.

Also known as the most boring site ever.

Well, a close second to the Macy's bridal page. Gah! Like there are a whole lot of potential brides around here.

Hmm. Apparently not too many potential grooms either. But yes, the sites are really boring. Even Mr. Zingy who sounded faintly carnal turned out to be a come on for a digital camera.

Charles, I know you've gone to a lot of trouble to get these sponsors and it's not your fault they make people's eyes glaze over. Still, it would be a nice change of pace if something like Mr. Hat's Hell Hole or Gurl Talk showed up. The latter is a 'zine for teenaged girls that's on another Trek site. They have riveting discussions about nipples, acne, boyfriends and Kosovo.

Some of these sites require you to provide information that could allow them to spam you before you can leave their first page.

Those, I just "X-off" and try something else later.

Dante quote! Dante! Dante!

Uhm... yeah...

Dante's the best... And, besides that, CC, you have to take into account those that actually can't click on them every six hours...

From Dante's Inferno, from the 8th Circle of Hell:
"If I thought that my answer were to one who might ever return to the world, this flame would shake no more; but since from this depth none ever returned alive, if what I hear is true, I answer you without fear of infamy."
