My EC Experiment:
I accepted 21 of the billion paid ads for experimentations sake and here is what I found! First let me say that my scientific methods were not very scientific and included only hitting the refresh button 20 times and here are my findings: Of the 20 time I hit refresh the person who paid credits to show up on my widget was there 12 times or 60%! Paid ads showed up the rest of the time but not in any kind of equal rotation. One ad showed up twice, one showed up three times and then three different ads showed up one time each! SO, what happened to the rest of the 16 paid ads in my que that did not appear at all when I hit the refresh button? Another thing I noticed is less EC dropping and virtually NO EC ads to my site that paid credits to me! So my solution is as follows:
Since I am not sure how to feel about the new EC system of paid advertising I have decided to do my own version! Starting tomorrow this is how I will handle all paid ads! If you want me to accept your paid ad you MUST FIRST sign up for a normal advert that you buy from me using EC credits! Once this is done I will approve your paid EC ad, however, if you cancel your advert with me before it runs I will also cancel your paid ad. I think this is a fair deal! Just so you know, this is a family blog so I will not accept just anything to run on my blog! This will continue, so if you want me to run your paid ad you will pay me ECs to run on my widget the old way too!
Anyone else got any good ideas? Let's hear them! Just remember to be nice becuase we are all entitled to our own opinion!
I guess this self-portrait that I took a while back explains my mood and attitude pretty good right now!! LOL!
