Mouldy Punk Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I only ever blocked the ads on this site once, that was when it kept coming up with those annoying "The document contains no data" messeges because there was something wrong with the ads. Now I don't have them blocked though because that problem has been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimm2 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I only blocked them. Just in case. Contain a piece of malware. Try load on my PC. Usually that temporany. :hug: The Spybot, Ad-aware, Foxie, Mcafee Antivirus, and hosts file in windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

family guy Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 How do Google's adsense things work? Do you have to click them or just view them to help support the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You have to click them. Not necessarily. I made money a few days in a row without a single click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msg43 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Well I was block neowin adds just because I was unsure to how to prevent adds being blocked from neowin. Well I saw this topic and decided to google a bit and atleast with adblock plus if you righ click the adblock icon you can choise to enables ads on certian sites (IE disable adblock for a domain such as neowin). :cheers: I am now happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Downin Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I block ads, but I am a subscriber. Shouldn't I be entitled to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted April 12, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 12, 2006 No, we shouldn't be entitled to do it. Soon, when v5 is rolled out to the forums, it's been said that there will be an ad-less version of Neowin for subscribers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexter66 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 As far as I am concern blocking ads in forums and telling other how to block ads is not really polite to the site admin, too be honest I never block ads. Ad are there for a reason, to keep a site free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ads are there for a reason. On a site where we have a lot of young people with no real income, it's usually the case where everyone wants everything free with no catches. The real world doesn't work this way, however, and the cost for running this site is atronimical. It easily breaks $1,000 a month to run this place.

kiall Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 also the ad's can be funny depending on the forum topics :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 No, we shouldn't be entitled to do it. Soon, when v5 is rolled out to the forums, it's been said that there will be an ad-less version of Neowin for subscribers :) I just wanted to make sure everyone realizes that this "add less" version of neowin will not be for current MAIL subscribers but a different tier subscription.

L3thal Veteran Posted May 5, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2006 Adblock works wonders for me. It blocks ads from annoying sites, allows me to see ads in Neowin, and did I mention it allows ads in Neowin to be shown? ;) In all seriousness, the ads Neowin implents are the best I have seen. They never get in the way and its hard to even tell they are there. Plus, being a subscriber I am and allowing ads to be shown allows Neobond to pay off 2 hours of bandwidth ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 To be honest I've never really noticed ads on the site. Hmmm. You guys do awesome work with this site, I'm thinking of becoming a subscriber soon :) (Once I work out how to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slane Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 There's ad's on this site? Where? I never knew there where ad's. I only have Google Toolbar and IE7 installed, both blocking ad's. Would one of those be blocking ad's on Neowin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
