Adverts at bottom of pages

Post by cat in the hat »

Hi

Sorry if this is a daft question, but does the forum benefit from ordering products when the adverts at the bottom of the page are clicked on. I have bought quite a few xmas pressies through the links at the bottom of the page. Will that hekp the forum, or are they there to just advertise their products only?

Thanks

Harry.

Hi mate and welcome to MOT!
Clicking the Google ads gives us sponsorship money yes. I usually click on one link per day,
Buying books and cd's through the Amazon link gives us a percentage of what you spend, if I'm correct.

Both are excellent ways to support MOT site costs, so thanks for using them! :thup:

Yep clicking Google Ads gives us money and buying anything through the Amazon links gives us about 5%.

They look out for irregular patterns and discount clicks, clicking on one ad each day is good enough to generate us enough income to cover site costs.
