Google Ads
I have implemented the Google Ads. Either two text ads or a picture ad will appear at the bottom of pages. Since i know some people find ads annoying i will soon implement the option of turning them off. All my beta testers (early adopters) will have the option to turn ads off, as will anyone who ever donates money to the site (supporters).
I’m having a little difficulty getting it to display relevant ads – mostly because i don’t really know how it does it. I’m not sure if it can see everything on a page, because obviously the Google robot can’t log in. So i had the idea of picking up a public page, to which i would pass a parameter (the page title) but that doesn’t seem to work either. At the moment it seems obsessed with giving me HTML editors (probably because of the Bluefish logo on the sidebar) and tools to fix DLL problems (no explanation for that springs to mind!).
Anyway, we’ll see how it goes. I can probably find ways to tweak it later on.
