ETF2L – Latest activity in “Ads on ETF2L” https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-24692/ Reply by Kaneco https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-24692/page-2/?recent=437974#post=437974 Quoted from Arie
[...] You can.
Actually you can't if you run a trustable ad provider, I can say for a fact that adsense won't even allow these things to pass their filters for a start. I see now that you're not running adsense, or so it seems. Is there any plausible reason why you wouldn't do that? Adsense has a much higher CPM / CPC than 90% of the providers on the market and is much more trustable. Also I have adblock off for everything atm and I haven't got a virus in months, I visit all the kinds of nasty sites and last time something happened it was some kind of javascript injection and my AV and malwarebytes solved it in seconds]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=24692&post=437974 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:45:37 +0100 Reply by Trane https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-24692/page-2/?recent=437974#post=437945 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=24692&post=437945 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:20:19 +0100 Reply by Arie https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-24692/page-2/?recent=437974#post=437942 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=24692&post=437942 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:48:41 +0100 Reply by atmo https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-24692/page-2/?recent=437974#post=437934 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=24692&post=437934 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:38:01 +0100 Reply by CursedGhost https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-24692/page-2/?recent=437974#post=437931 Quoted from Trane

(Jacuzzi much??) Right, I am in no way accusing ETF2L of money laundering, I was alluding the fact someone seemed to think that many users running adblock may put them in some sort of precarious financial situation. I can't see it having much bearing - because hosting is pretty cheap in my direct experience - I share costs of a domain with some friends.
I have no idea, I think it would be safe to say they have their own dedi box, maybe two, not sure how powerful or what the connection is. It is definitely not an insignificant number.
See above.
I can't find the correlation to the previous sentence.
Hosting costs are often dictated by the 'potential' of the domain name, that was the point I was making with my silly analogy - showing up on searches etc when people are looking for something else which is incredibly popular. I thought Arie may have hosted it, as I was under the impression he did for Vanilla, in which case I did make the leap that it probably didn't cost very much.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=24692&post=437926 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:48:06 +0100 Reply by trath https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-24692/page-2/?recent=437974#post=437923 Quoted from Trane
Thanks for educating me Trath you're so smart. So how much is hosting for this site? I know it has such a lucrative name, apple have probably been trying to buy it for years.
Lets have a look at what you said: Quoted from Trane

[...] CanFo said in the other thread that all ad money goes to league related expenses. I assume hosting & prize money.

What is ad revenue actually used for?
