I'm thinking the empty area beside the avatar at the top of the forums might as well be filled up with ads. It would also no longer be collapsible.
Does anyone have a problem with this? The space isn't be used anyhow.
PS: I figure I should also put Jose's ads backup on the front page at least. It's been too long without them...

Jose's ads are kinda back. I guess we'll just do them this way until I actually look into the whole AdSense process myself.

Obviously I've been doing a lot with ads lately. As it happens we got two clicks on our ads yesterday which earned the website 0.54 dollars. Apparently our view to click ratio is pretty good if that keeps up. We've had nearly 268 unique viewings of our ads so far. So 2/268 equals more than a quarter per ad click which isn't bad at all 
At any rate, the website can't encourage visitors to click on ads, and just to be safe, I won't encourage visitors in the forums either. But as soon as possible when I get home I'll register a business at the courthouse and try to setup the Google AdSense account as a business. That should make it possible to automatically publish our earnings on the internet, though I'm not positive about that.
In the meantime I'll just report statistics in this thread about once a week....
| Page impressions | Clicks | Page CTR | Page eCPM | Earnings | | 268 | 2 | 0.75% | $2.03 | $0.54 |

It seems if you make an account here:
http://www.google.com/analytics/
You can have access to information about the website (after we add your account to our tracking list)
I'm not positive at this time about what all information the reports will include. I'll edit this post once I have a better idea...

Ok, here is the all time ad revenue report so far.... wait for it...
| Page impressions | Clicks | Page CTR | Page eCPM | Earnings | | 30,714 | 73 | 0.24% | $0.61 | $18.87 |
I would've posted updates more often, but clicks tend to just trickle in now and then so far...

On the bright side the ads are bringing in enough to cover the cost of hosting the website. We could do a lot better though...
If we ever accrue enough for a years worth of hosting we can think about moving the website to it's own shared host.
Jose's ads will remain up in the Archives. Please help Jose out by paying mind to his Ads whenever you're down there...

First time I've been able to check it for a while...
AdSense for Content
| Page impressions | Clicks | Page CTR | Page eCPM | Earnings | | 68,222 | 200 | 0.29% | $0.66 | $45.24 |
AdSense for Search

I'm sure some of this clicking was of my doing while I was away from home. Technically I'm not supposed to... but hell I'm a consumer too  ooo(Last time I checked??)

Remember, we seriously need your support! So please try to keep one eye on our ads, and by all means, if you see something interesting, don't hesitate to click at it (the ads only pay out per click)
After reaching our primary goal of 100$ (required before Google pays out) ...we will have emergency funds in case the site ever goes down. So I can pay to lease a new server for a year. I might also consider leasing a new server anyway, so we might get more features (and I will have more control over things) and won't be bumming anymore 
I still need to find out who should own the digitaldevildb.com domain name... the administrator should of course, but I don't atm.
As me an Emilio do most of the work around here, he can also use any new server for his personal projects if he'd like to (and I could use a public host myself for private matters) in return for his continued support of, and enthusiasm for the website... without which nothing would be possible -- seriously.
Anyway, that is likely how the first 100$ will be spent. Please help support DDDB's continued existence on the world wide interweb~

Sounds good!   But can you give an example of what can I do with a server?

Well with a server you can for instance make yourself a website (that you have full control over)
I just use them to share private stuff with people and host random files.

Not much clickin' the last few days 
edited: I'm surprised that our daily visits never seem to drop below about 600. I wonder how that could be??? Unless that is the average number of visits from webcrawlers per day 
Surely those don't count as visitors (the official ones at lest)

^Actually that is the pageview statistic... the visits are actually a little less than half that.
If no one patronizes our ads, or even contributes to the community/website... it's not too helpful though. Hopefully people are at least being informed
