not gonna trash up that thread anymore ...

More exposure does not mean more money if no one goes to the site... and that's why they want you to go to the site, so they can get more of both.

Like I said it's a catch 22... which happens first the chicken or the egg?

Your arguing a good article will get more people to his site.... which is not always true. Other article on here are good but I don't always click the links when I don't have to. I clicked this link to see the article and they got an extra counting on who viewed it which makes them more money.

Those other good article, that I didn't click the link to didn't get any money from me reading it.

If the article wasn't have been posted here, would you have known about it?

Did you used to frequent a website and do so no longer because some of the articles are shared here?

When you folks post articles here, often times that's the first time I've heard of the site. I'll check it out from time to time and see how it is, etc ... if you didn't share it, I'd have never known about it. That's where the exposure I'm referring to comes in.

Ad revenue only kicks in when someone on the source site CLICKS one of the ad's, not simply the source site itself. At least, that's how Google explained it to me and the countless folks who keep asking to advertise on our little known website here.

Bah shit ... gotta go to a meeting ... I'll add more and make more sense out of what I'm saying later.

I don't know of any sites that make money simply by people landing on them. They make money by people clicking on ads located on the site. Since I never click on ads on any site I visit, they don't make money from my visit.

X dollars per 1000 impressions.. statistics such as click through and conversion rates were tabulated to measure ad placement effectiveness.. thus it effected the re-up rates.



Like I said.. those days might be long gone.. been a while.

Regarding traffic, was was said to me about it's importance is when you're marketing your site to an advertising company. In the sense of "Hey, I'm getting X amount of unique users a day, X amount of return users, " other than that, the only thing the advertising company is concerned with his how often THEIR site is accessed through YOUR site.

Personally, I have an issue with financially gaining off running (or whatever the hell it is I'm doing) a Packers fan site. It just doesn't feel right to me. Maybe if I actually had a skill that made the website unique or something to that effect, I'd feel different.

I respect both sides, but as mentioned have my own preference.

Once that 1000 impressions is exhausted, I have to pay more to get more impressions. No one, to my knowledge, makes any money from showing ads on their site unless someone actually clicks through them to the website being advertised.

The only things this hit-counter obsession accomplishes are a) vanity and b) the ability to charge more for advertising. But I highly doubt any Packers-related website, even Packers.com itself, brings in enough readership that even if every potential reader clicked on a link to read the article on their website, the traffic would be remotely high enough to substantively affect their ad rates.

No one is making decent money on the click ad type stuff anymore. The amount they pay it takes roughly 500,000 views to get $5.00.
I think the only way you want to take money on a fan site is through voluntary donations. In other words if you like it click and donate if not ..oh well enjoy.

Just my two cents

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.
dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls
beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
