"I don't think we need to open the ads (do we, Ed) for the mousefall to be counted?"

There are two ways we make money from ads:

1) impressions. That means if a visitor opens the page, and see the ad (i.e. the ad has loaded) - that's one impression.

2) Clicks. On our google advertising we get paid on a per-click basis.

I am mainly replying however to laugh at the phrase "mousefall" - which sounds like a tragic end to A Windmill In Old Amsterdam.

TWR:

"yes there has been ads but there seems to more appearing"

But there isn't! It's the same number as before... If you're seeing more ads then maybe it's time to run a malwarebytes scan? It could be a rogue element on your PC.

"A.Y.N. ... became FULL of ads, the members did suggest they would contribute but the offer was taken, a lot of members came off the site & it appears that the site lost Its appeal"

If we saw visitor and member number decrease because of something we did, we would react to it - probably very quickly.

I'm not sure what ringtones have to do with very much of it, and I imagine that they didn't come from AYN.

It's great that you would pay - but not everyone would. We'd have to work out the value of someone like you and work out a subscription based on that. This may be quite high however and when we've discussed it before many members consider anything over £10 a year too much for an add-free subscription...

So you'd only want 10p off me then Ed?

I'm going to sob quietly in a corner....

You have given a good reply to my post AB, I do appreciate the site has to pay in every way, my post was not in any way a condemnation only a point, It has been acknowledged, thank you.
