Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 17, 2006 Root Admin Posted May 17, 2006 Well... I've given in to the google craze. I an attempt to get more traffic, I'm using google AdWords. And to offset some of the costs, I'm placing google ads on the site as well as search. This is all new to me but I've been told it does work so we'll see. I just hate to clutter the site up with ads. I've budgeted $300 per month for AdWords. Again- I'm not out to make a profit on this... just to cover the costs, which haven't been too bad so far. Thanks to those who are spreading the news about the forum and to those who are handing out rack cards for us.
Danoinark Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Neat Avatar Phil...someone up there draw it? Looks Good! Anyone handing out rack cards down this way? Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 17, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted May 17, 2006 caricatures- I bought several off a YCMA benefit auction and had one done of Babler and then myself... had to experiment on Bill first you know. Anyhow, was thinking about offering it to members of the forum for a donation to our YMCA scholarship fund. What do you think? Rack cards- no. I thought I'd be done that way. I may though tomorrow- depends on where my kids want to float.
Flysmallie Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I would be in for one of those caricatures, especially if it's benefiting a good cause. They look great! Â Â
Danoinark Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Me too Phil, I would do a caricature also and a donation. If I can help you with rack cards down this way let me know. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Kansas Fly Fisher Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I'm game for a caricature as well. Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM
Snow Fly Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Same here Phil! "God gave fishermen expectancy, so they would never tire of throwing out a line"
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 20, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted May 20, 2006 This Google thing is something else. If any of you have a site, you should look into Google AdSense. It's easy if you have some knowledge of html and it's definately profitable. I've put ads on the forum, oa's link table and our resort's like table as well as added the search. I get paid on clicks on those ads, using the search and just overall page impressions. Here in another week I'll report what the revenue looks like but so far I've made over $20 in 2 days.

I added Google Ads to my site (www.buffettworld.com, shameless plug I know) in April and it's done very well so far, a lot better than my Amazon associates program.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 22, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted May 22, 2006 Interesting site... although I don't follow Jimmy Buffett it's a clean looking site. No such thing as a shameless plug here.
