Pay per click idea?, page 1

I see and I appreciate that there are no ads on this site.
But would it be a good idea to have text formatted ads (probably in special pages and not in the start page) and by clicking them we could raise our ratio?
It would be also a way to contribute to the available funds for the rent and helping the site even for users that do not need more ratio.

not a bad idea, but think about it:

users would click VERY much to raise their ratio. google adsense (and other ad providers) consider this as cheating... and another thing: it's in the google's adsense licence, that you cannot force your users click on ads (even, you can't ASK them to click on ads), and you cannot reward them for clicking.

good idea there but as vikto said it would be kinda like cheating :evil:

you cannot reward them with money!but you could reward the users with benefits on the site.

and there could be a limit of clicks a user can do per given period

read the rules of google adwords....sorry, ADSENSE! you CANNOT mention clicking on banners, and reward users for clicking anyway... Check out

yes, viktor is right, that is why only on links page you can see something like 'click sponsor adds'. by the way, since that page is displayed rarely, clicks on adds there give more income.. anyways, donations bring way more, WAY MORE. maybe 50 times more.. and after all, you cannot easily trace if someone clicked banner..

unfortunately i could not open the page of google i will try later..

of course donations give more but additional income that dont harm the site's experience would not be bad I think

anywayz it was just an idea if I knew also how it can be implemented I would have said so!
