New Ad Removal Policy
Feb 11 2004, 07:28 PM · Recovered body
Our Ad Removal policy and payment system will be changing soon. From now until the change, requests for Ad Removal will be dealt with on a case by case basis and you may be asked to wait.
Old policy:
- Required contact with me to get a price quote.
- Minimum price was $2.99 a month.
- Only a monthly payment system was available. (Some exceptions were made.)
- Price based on my estimate of growth and activity of your board.
New Policy:
- Can be purchased automatically and instantly (if you wish to pay by paypal).
- Minimum payment is $5.
- You pay by page views. If you purchase more than you need, the extra page views go over into the next month.
- Price is exact and much more fair to all boards.
- There is an option to disable ad free viewing per user group to allow you to reward certain groups on your board.
Who will benefit from this new Policy?
Nearly everyone who purchases ad removal should benefit. Tiny boards now do not have to pay a high rate of $2.99 a month but can pay $5 one time and it will last for months or maybe even years. Larger boards get a exact price and do not pay more or less than they should.
The beginning rate will be $0.15 per 1,000 page views. The rate will change to reflect advertising market prices. Just as a suggestion, it may be a good idea for small boards to buy when we are displaying ads that are not worth much per page view. Should higher paying ads be put up the ad removal rates will go up to match.
