Advertising on Bushcraft UK

[Tony]

This is a letting you know post that we're playing around with advertising on the site, at the moment non logged in people see more than looked in people and FM's see even less.

We're playing with advert placements, quantity, type etc so that we can get a balance between advertising income and you all enjoying the site, we need the income as things aren't free when it comes to running a forums of this size, we're also conscious though that this is a home from home for many and we don't want to spoil that.

So, bear with us while we look at this, it's going to change every now and then while we monitor things.

Thanks
Tony

OK. Was just going to comment that ads had appeared. Checked I was signed in. I was. Hope it won't be too intrusive for FMs. This is a great site...

The ads at the bottom of the page , are not intrusive to me, even though Sandra Bullock lied.

OnlY just spotted them myself - can't say they bother me at all .

The Sandra Bullock one did make me laugh too

If you make it so that FMs only see proper bushcraft ads then I'd consider turning adblock off.

No interest in russian ladies or sandra advertising to me.

That will gradually change and we should be able to refine the adverts to mainly our interests on Bushcraft UK, that's the intention anyway, all our interests + tools ( i like them ) It will just take time on working out ad placements and content, I did try using a different system once before but the ads were awful so turned it off, hopefully this will be better.

There's going to be a compromise across the board as we put these in place and I figure that as long as it's relevant content and not in your face it's not so bad

Hope it doesn't slow the forum down, have a look at archery interchang , the same forum software as here but so many ads its almost unusable
