GS has rarely accepted ads in its 12+ years of existence. Time has come when we join this bandwagon for various reasons. In addition to financial support, displaying ads yield better name/brand recognition and market placement. We have numerous outstanding requests from various groups who are interested in promoting their sites/products on GS. So, with heavy heart, we have decided to sacrifice some real estate and take a small hit on the visual appeal of GS by opening up shop for advertisements. The experiment begins by placing google ads under the quickie area. The same area will also house two slots for boxed advertisements which will be auctioned or exchanged with reputable websites. We will also display google adsense link ads in white area under the navbar (inside the navigation box). All efforts will be made to make sure the visually appeal of GS remains unharmed. For our unregistered members, they will also see inline text ads (placed as posts, one on each page).
This may seem a bit too much but rest assured that 12 years of our existence and market leadership has taught us to be very protective of our real estate. We won’t just burry the main content under advertisements. As a matter of fact, if this comes to hurt our readership, we will simply yank the entire project.
Sounds pretty fair. Most websites do that to compensate for operating costs, and if it has come to be for GS as well, then be it. I for one, support it fully. I'm sure it won't disrupt or become a disturbance for the readers, thinkers, writers, debaters and flooders of GupShup.
It looks good.(meri angryji yahin tak hy bas) Agar ainda bhi katak katak ker ky choti choti windows na khulin tu buhat acha hy. Warna baaz sites per jaty hai ju khirki py khirki khulti hy Adds ki Bari uljhan hoti hy .Dua hy Allah os step sy GS ko mehfoz rakhy(Ameen) ab tak tu theek hy. Harmless sa section lag rha hy.Cool
Azkar,
If I remember I have suggested many times in my 10 years stay at GS to have the Advertisement, its not that you need a financial support but it satisfy the sincere member that you are not paying from your own pocket! ... but you always go for the quality which shows your sincerity to the user to give them the best service! ...
But I assure you it will not cost anything if you keep the advertisement on this site! ... its about the time now to do so :-)
