The trick will be deciding what pages to serve them on. I need to look into the agreement, but since we use some copyrighted material (typically music), we may not be allowed to have ads on those pages. We can replace a lot of the music, but not for Zombie, since “Danger Zone” is part of the skit. Also Finding Enrique to a certain extent (just that one Simon & Garfunkel song, dammit).
Maybe we'll end up moving questionable skits to another server. I dunno. Or maybe we won't do ads at all. Maybe just put a paypal "donate" thing there. Not sure how well that will work, though. I've even considered making some DVDs or VCDs to sell, but the same copyright issues are there. Maybe music CDs, if we can ever finish those songs.
Or, hell, maybe the ads here will work to offset at least the cost of hosting. Which isn't much, but over the course of a year it comes out to about $120. And that's actually $240, with both flappingcrane.com and povert.com. We're not so much looking to profit as we are looking to make up for the incidental costs.
Meh. At least google ads are unobtrusive. There's the option to have image ads, but I'm steering clear of that. I hate image and flash ads. They suck. And if you all really hate the ads, I'm sure you can use AdBlock or something for Firefox. Like I care.
Heh. The ads in the Videos section of this site are all about skating and Bam Margera. At least the ads are relevant, eh? Though the ones I'm seeing on this page are a little odd.|||111361035232663065|||Ads
|||I'm onto your little game now! Flapping Crane is just a front for your evangelical christian agenda. It's like those Halloween hell houses, draw in all the heathens with debauchery, violence, and mayhem and then BAM your converted and salvation ensues!
Joe|||I've been exposed. Now I have to move to a new town and assume a new identity and start all over. THANKS.Though I should point out that this was all actually a front to sell Gummi Bear Insurance. Operation: Candy Explosion hadn't progressed that far. And now, sadly, it never will.
Great. Now there will be ads for Gummi Bears.
