I generally dislike advertising, but Google has the least annoying ads I've seen. I often click on them first when buying something just to support their great free tool (Google) and to support not-in-your-face advertising. |

Of course [jutta] hasn't said anything about money, so this may not even be the problem. |

Wait a second... with more people finding out about the HB, *more* people will come with their //crap, puns and chat.// Not supposed to make the problem worse, [kbecker]! |
|
| |
Yeah, like the HB isn't already the first link for about anything you enter as a search term. (searches for Bathroom Button - first site - tries Alphabet Soup Punctuation, second site - tries the first two words that pop into head Type Donut, 31st site (Duelin' Donuts)) |
|
| |
//... but self-referential crap, puns and chat ...// Even that is much easier to bear if you have a little money for a few beers or a soothing ocean wave generator. |
|
| |
//with more people finding out about the HB// Why would more people find out? The links are out of the HB to other sites. |
|
| |
//move this idea to the halfbakery: category// I don't want a new category. All posts are subject to keyword search. |

Amazon (and many other sites) will pay linkees a referral fee if their link leads to a sale. Many ideas here generate links to a specific book - either factual or sci-fi - which elaborates on whatever point the poster is trying to make. Same goes for movies, music, etc. I'm sure the HB has been responsible for many sales that wouldn't otherwise have been made - seems only fair to me that the site manager should get a little something for their part in the transaction. |

[spacecadet], you must not understand. This isn't the halfbakery advertised and shown on google, this is about google adds advertised and shown on the halfbakery. Shouldn't attract more trolls. Or morons. Wait, is there a difference? |
|
| |
I don't think this necessarily solves any current problem. Having said that, I would have no issue at all with advertisements on the bakery. |
|
| |
Some fairly discreet (by that I mean they musn't start flashing, dancing around the page and singing. And the ought to fit in with the tasteful colour sceme.) adds wouldn't hurt much, especially if they are matched up with the idea categories. You never know, they might even be useful. (e.g. add for a fuel eficient car in the kill all SUV drivers section, comicbooks in the superhero section, etc.) |

As a newcomer to the halfbakery, I seem to be fast becoming addicted. Please put some ads, blinky things and banners, so It's not such a shock when I return to the rest of the internet, and make it easier for me to limit myself. |
|
| |
Ha! That's part of the problem you see. This place teaches you to hate sites with blinky stuff, clutter and anything except for the reason you went there. Which is all of them. |
|
| |
Whew. Didn't see the date on this and was worried for a mo. |
