The better question is why are you using internet explorer.

I see the same thing. I use IE here because Chrome still screws up the unread posts!

Hi all,
Long-time XBH members will recall that I never (ever) had grotesque ad content. We had some ads in the past (never in the forum posts themselves, only at the top and side).
Recently, I've let the site just be due to lack of time.
However, I recently took up an interest in Kinect as a new target...and could use some spare cash to fund this. (I am merely a graduate student).
I do hope these are non-intrusive and don't substantially degrade the site.
I'll take concerns on this seriously, especially if their revenue is not worth it. It looks like about $1/day.

To be more clear, no, it will not get worse or out of hand. I intend to keep them to links at the top of the page only. None of that post inline crap (I hate that...). None of that flashy stuff that jumps or sings or covers your screen. Ugh.
Perhaps I'll ask:
If I place 1 ad somewhere, where is the least evil? What if 2?
I am using text ads, and a thin line at that.
SI

Yes, these ads are the least evil. So how far does one need to click through to generate revenue? And how often?

It appears that most any click of the links is counted, but how much a click count seems to vary pretty dramatically. A few cents or very small fractions of a dollar.

Is it just me, or do those stupid Google text ads show irrelevant crap half the time anyway?
Considering replacing them with some affiliate link to something like Amazon selling controllers or XBox Live cards...
