Does Neowin make a significant amnt of $ from people clicking on the ads?

I usually click on them every so often but if so then I think I would make it a point to click one more often to support the site.

I don't know how much neowin makes, but my website alone (not my personal one) makes about $2.00 a day with ad rev from google. helps pay for the servers and bandwidth

Your not supposed to mention this, teh spiders see and and can cut neowin off.

oops...better close this then

Clicking ads support us yes, but we aren't allowed to encourage it.

sry, didn't know.

since when? I've seen a lot of ad sense sites mention they they have them and nothing ever happened to them.

Neobond, is the "we" staff or anybody who is a part of the website? As in principal would be it ok for a member to hint towards it in their signature ?

if it isn't then let me know because i've never seen a rule that said against it

Well in principal I can see the fact that the staff can't encourage/make us because its meant to be there subtly and to tie in with the website and to help manage the fees not pay them all. But for members trying to help the website I can't see much of a problem?

Yes it supports Neowin but it's up to the users to click it.
