Ads

[Da Coach]

Does anyone else see more ads on Bradleyfans in the last couple days? Until now, we only had a couple small banner ads near the top of the page and at the bottom, but now I am seeing more ads, sometimes inserted into the posts. We have not changed anything to cause this, so it must be something that Google changed (they place the ads).
I'd like to know if other see the same thing as I do since ads are different for each user. And is anyone annoyed by the change? I will say that it seems to have produced a bump in ad revenue for the site, which is always welcome, since there are continuing costs to run the site such as software fees, security fees, web server fees, domain registration fees, and fees to maintain the site and keep it running.
Let me know what you think.

Yes I am seeing the same thing. It’s anoying but if it keeps costs down it is tolerable or If it really bothers folks I am good to pitch in.

Yes, I'm seeing them, as well. There are often several ads on top of one another that you have to scroll past in order to see the different topics. It's a really bad placement imo.

It is annoying on my phone. It is not too bad on my desk top, because I can easily scroll past them. Maybe you could do an option like Pandora Music. If you don't want ads, you could opt out by paying a fee to not see the ads.

Yes, and i have noticed it on the other message board I read too.

[Dub]

Yes, but it’s no big deal. I just ignore them like always.

I see no ads. I have an ad blocker on.

I see no ads. I have an ad blocker on.

Maybe we can get you to tell us how to get your ad blocker so others can use it.

Anyway, I think we might have found a way to fix it. We'll know soon.

[sam hannam]

I use AdBlock Plus. It works great.

I’m seeing a lot of ads too but I just scroll past them also. Annoying but not that big a deal.

[Da Coach]

It appears that I have fixed the problem with the excessive ads. We're back to the more subtle small banner ads at the top and bottom of each page.
