Ads on Site

I've been thinking for a while about this matter and i want to ask you first. How would you feel if KnicksOnline.com will be displaying some banner ads from Google? Yeah, i know it doesn't sound to good but there are some benefits:

1. i get some cash (few cents for every click) that will help me to pay some costs of the site

2. the google bot will visit the site everyday, this will help the site to be better indexed, and more easily to be found which will most likely bring more visitors and, why not, more posters.

I was considering of running these ads for about 2 months and see how things will work.
The ads will be placed somewhere on the forums in a way that won't disturb you and on the site, probably on the left blue bar.

so...

ok, banner ads have been added. you can see them at the bottom of the forum, and on the left blue bar of every page of the site.
the best part is that google is searching for ads strictly related to the content of the page, so 95% of the ads will be knicks related.

ps: you can click on them with confidence :D

how much money do u get per click

hmm.. i think not all clicks have the same value, for example, on january 26, the first day, i had 6 click which made $0.13, and on march 1st i had another 6 clicks but they made $0.63.
anyway, the total clicks from jan 26th and untill today, gathered in knicksonline's piggy bank the large sum of $1.42 :)

Nice!! this site is the second on basically every google search, behing only nba.com/knicks.. Also, I like the new set-up with the posting.. how one post is a darker grey, from the post surrounding, it makes it that easier to read, and also a very nice touch, thanks rady

Yah the site is becoming more and more popular. More members will start to join and we will soon (if not already) become the greatest Knick fan site out there.

One day I just sat for about a minute and just kept clicking the ads. I will click the ads a lot now to make this site some money.

sadly, i think i have a filter on my computer that stops the site from showing the ads, however when im at school, or not home i click them whenever i get the chance..

you don't have to click like crazy on the ads, one per day is fine, and i think google is counting only one click / day on each pc ;)

btw, i'm getting very close of $6 :D

it might not take affect imediatly, but i can imagine that over the summer, and offseason knick fans who are exited for the upcoming season, looking for a fan site, will come across this, and we should have a lot more members then
