What the heck is a text ad?
Thursday, September 19, 2002 by Delicious | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Studio audience was polled and the response was that most don't know what text ads are. Are they ads with text w/o graphics?

Go to google and search 'computers'. Now, see those links on the right? Those are text-ads. It's like a banner, minus the annoyment factor.

Unbelievable... Unbelievable stupid i think...
So ad's without text is just ad's and not graphical-ad's or banners or whatever you wanna call it? And with text-ad's it's text-ad's. How original.. A true magnificant brain must have thought of that.. hahaha..
What moron (excuse my language plz) could think of such a thing?. He could be nominated 'Idiot of the year' right next to ME

Well, text-ads are immune to Junkbusters, if I'm not mistaken.

OK, is the assumption of the poll that a significant number of users (here?) have something they wish to advertise or promote?
Is this just an idle theoretcal question to see what people theoretically might do? Or is this a tentative feeler trying to gauge the mood on a potential additional revenue source for WC?
If this indeed is a tentative feeler in regards to WC, will site subscribers still be able to cruise through an ad free zone (text or otherwise)?

"trying to save Bandwidth so you can move around this site with ease"
with ease?.. You missed the point, and for that i forgive you. However, i can tell you that i AIN'T trying to SAVE bandwidth, i just stated that it a shame that when someone uses several hundreds of kb of bandwidth just to load the page that one (read = all non-billed) users can't even download a 3kb cursorXp skin becuase of server overload. And i don't give a damn about a shitload of ads as long as i can dl a little file once in a while.
Read it.. And most important, *understand* it before you comment on it, that way you can do you'r self a favor and save me (and maybe others) the time it takes to read you'r crap.

Glad I'm not the only one that didn't really understand the poll question. I voted No just on principle.

With new ppl joining the internet everyday there was an inevitability that expensive equipment would be needed to provide adequate service. Someone has to pay for that stuff. If an ad is the factor to decide if a site stays or goes then ...

What's special about text ads is that they level the playing field.
Anyone can go to google right now, for example, and take out an ad there. You just enter in how much you want to spend per day (like "no more than $2"), type in the text and the keywords and voila.
Imagine if your favorite websites offered this kind of stuff? In expensive easy to do ways to support the site and promote something.
