If you browse through the website now, you may notice that some words have green, double underlines under them, and if you move your mouse over these lines, that an ad appears. I am trying to find unobstrusive ways to generate more revenue that I can invest in more outside written articles. Let me know what you think. Are these too instrusive? Are they useful? ----------------------------- Brad M. McGehee, MVP Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com
Ok, this is it as when I was reviewing one artile it displayed few words in other color. I don't think this is an issue or intrusive, indeed will be helpful if that generates revenue to the site.

satya, do you remember what article it was? ----------------------- --Frank http://www.insidesql.de -----------------------

Yeah I can see them. It doesn't bother me at all, it's much less intrusive than pop-ups or banner advertising. Tom Pullen DBA, Oxfam GB
Hm, must be some security setting, I guess. But since this is only about ads, I won't dive to deep into finding out why. And I agree, that it sounds much better than pop-ups. ----------------------- --Frank http://www.insidesql.de -----------------------
I have noticed that sometimes the ads take a few seconds to appear after the entire page loads. Also, on some pages, they don't seem to appear. What is susposed to happen is that the software analyzes the webpage for key words and concepts, and then tries to match related ads to the words. I'll give it a try for about a month, and then based on your feedback, and they results, and will then decide whether to continue with them or not. ----------------------------- Brad M.

Now finally I can see what you mean:<br /<a target="_blank" href=http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5891>http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5891</a><br /><br />I already suspected this to be something similar I do have seen yet on other sites. And it's okay for me.

I saw it before I read this post and was interested enough to check it out. Its not bad and if it helps generate revenue, then its even better! chris
I think it's kind of kewl. I've even clicked on some out of interest. Some are a good laugh also, because they're waaaaaaaay out in left field. That's fine too though. It's good entertainment. MeanOldDBA derrickleggett@hotmail.com When life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA.
I agree, some of the ads are a little strange. But I am told that they should get a little more accurate over time. ----------------------------- Brad M. McGehee, MVP Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com
