The ones inserted the middle of pages can be deceptive to those that are accustomed to ads being on the bottom. They may not realize theres another bunch of posts below it.
Better to plaster the ads on the top, bottom, and sides(minis) of the pages. Bulking them in the middle is a drag.
The experiment with more ads has netted a negative result...some tweaking would be appropriate.
thats why admuncher is so effective, its worked wonders. Not a single ad to be had
Here's my take on the situation. So the site has a few more ads than they had, big deal, lifes not fair. They're not distributing spyware or anything, just some on-page stuff, nothing that will harm you're computer (that I've seen at least). Everyone who's making a really big deal about it hasn't paid anything to use this service, but they feel like they're owed something simply for visiting. We all know they make money with the ads, but we're not talking bill gates here, just a couple pennies for looking at some stupid adverts. I don't want to see anyone leave over some extra ads, but if you feel that the entertainment value you get out of this site isn't enough to match your investment (sitting down and reading), then you're not forced to visit. I'm not telling anyone how they should act, just sharing my :twocents:
To join the chorus of concerned cannabis members, it's not the ad placement that bothers me so much. It's the content and web-site work.
It looks sloppy, no elimination of borders on the row with ads. If you going to have ads between postings, at least center it.
Also the content makes cannabis.com looks like a C rated site. There are viagra pills everywhere else on the net. Sundance, have a bit of integrity. Get advertisers that at least are related to cannabis or have a little class. Even the fake buds ads are more appropriate than get sex in _______.
If you goal is to be content on milking the site, keep it the way it is. If you want real growth, seek advertisers with some legitimacy, like food for instance. If you can convince up-start small businesses to advertise their products on cannabis.com, right here you have munchie-induced potheads who are hungry. Not to mention it'll be one very small step towards getting rid of the stigmata about marijuana, but it's a step needed none the less.
Plaster how many ads you want, most don't mind. It's the quality of the ads that bother the resounding majority.
I have noticed the site is getting back to its regular load time.
But those adds are still crazy, the fact that they are smack dab
right in the middle of a thread now is weird. Yes, yes, the add
muncher I know, but people just signing up to the site might see
the big commercial adds all over the boards and get discouraged then
decide to go some where else. It just don't look right, its like seeing
a toothless trailer park girl in a wet T-shirt contest.....its just not right.
dont try to trick people into thinking the ads are topics by making them look like topics. dont advertise for legal bud. and at very least if you are going to sell a shitload more ad space post a sticky beforehand informing us of it ahead of time and explaining why. lastly, get a clue
I'm sure that the OWNER of this site realizes that he needs your approval to make changes.......must have been a slip. Who should get the clue?
Have a good one!:thumbsup:
I blame it on the hot weather. Check out the middle east.....seems like the heat of summer really drives up the activity over there. lol.....brings back the statement on Jihad.Quote:

They are expressing their hate for commercial jargon, that's not
a bad thing to be against in my book.
Nothing wrong with expessing an opinion, and ol' boy didn't get a hit because of his statements here. He acted the fool in a different thread.Quote:
