So they're back. Too bad. Record the time peoples! How long did 30,000 clicks last us?

EDIT: So can I turn my auto-refresher back on for GOF or are you gonna purchase more clicks Petrie?

Based on the times of your post and the first post in this topic: about 4 hours short of 6 days. (5 days and 20 hours)

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Six days. I guess landbeforetimelover was proven right.

We must be getting a lot of guest traffic to go through 30,000 clicks in five days. We can't have more than two dozen active members. Even if 24 members made forty clicks a day, that's still only 960 clicks for one day. I don't get how they measure ad clicks.

Well with the advertising for this place I've been doing it's partially my fault. Sorry!

I'm hardly blaming you...without your advertising we'd be a good deal smaller.

Obviously one pageview is not the same as one ad click through invision's services. I have no intention of putting any more money towards this if it only gives us five days of no ads.

We're only going to get more. I don't have it advertised on YouTube only. I also started advertising it on THE most popular forum on the net a few days before you started that ad-free deal. (Over 16 million members and counting says a lot.)

Seeing as how we got it gone so fast, I'd say my advertising deals just freaking WORK!

Well it must be like I suggested in my earlier post. They must count a click EVERY time a member clicks on something. Even the "reply" button. I'm guessing I used 5 clicks by replying to this thread: 1 to open the thread, 2 to go to the second page, 3 to hit the reply button, 4 to hit the submit button (once I'm done typing this), and 5 clicking to get out of here. If they recorded clicks like that, we could easily have used the clicks we did in five days.

:

I'm pretty sure that's how they count it. I mean if they counted it any other way it would require an INCREDIBLY complex script. Besides, if they count them like that they can make more money from the companies that like to advertise with them.
