How many times a day do you guys click on them? I decided to make this thread for some reasons;

1: I'm curious to how many times you guys/girls click them
2: maybe it will encourage some users to try out the advertisements, and help EoFF.


I try to click them as much as possible, ofcourse, I'm not exactly sure how they work for EoFF to get paid, I dont know if they get paid every single time I click a link, or if its IP related, of course there must be some limit, because otherwise someone could click on it all day and make EoFF (Cid, I beleive) a millionaire.

I never remember to click them, but if I found out how much doing so would benefit the site I'd be much more encouraged to do so. I imagine you can only click once a day and it logs your IP, or something, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, thats basically what I meant by, helping eoff.


I think it would be wise to let people on eoff know how much they can make if people click on the link, rather then just asking us to support eoff and click the link without any other background info as to what it is, or how much they make, to encourage us to do it more often.

Anyways - off topic, its late, I'm going to sleep, hopefully more discussion about this tomorrow. Night eoff. ;p

Edit from 2007.

I click on some of the FFXI "Buy Gil" ads just so I can go to those sites and scream at the computer, OH MY FREAKING GOD, YOU FREAKING GIL SELLERS ARE RUINING THE FREAKING GAME.

But yeah, I'll try to remember to click on more ads.

My pop-up blocker blocks most of it. The rest of them, I generally don't click on them.

My reaction to seeing ads is to click the Adblock option in the corner from a firefox plugin, to ensure I never see that ad or related ones from the same site again :p

Unless the ad is somewhat creative in how it shows, such as this one I saw recently, (http://www.instantattention.com/tester.aspx?backAnchor=test) in which case I look to see how it works, then block it :D

Do they still find adverts related to keywords on the page?

I click them when there's something besides 'FFXI GIL'

Like that one about Algona Iowa hotels xD And there's been some for love potions xD

Googleads are the only ones that I don't use adblocker on, on principle.

They don't interest me in the least, so no I don't click them.

But I suppose I should start, I don't know. Maybe.

I think it's a sign that you're supposed to come here.

Advertisements equal spyware in my opinion. Like all those free iPod advertisements, by sending your email address in and then sending it out to 10 other people? C mon, it cant be as simple as that.

And back when I was young and foolish, by downloading songs on the internet, I would get tons of spyware on my computer: "Free Mp3's!, You won your dream Vacation on the moon!" Yeah, wont make that mistake again, and thats the reason why I'll never click on an adverrtisement.

If I do, its because they have awesome Duck Hunt games back from teh NES days. Or something other than that. Never for whats being sold to me. Thank god for pop up blocker

I agree. :) Not that I've clicked on many myself because I just don't look up to the top of the screen and when I do I usually see something about Gil and I couldn't care less about that. However, one or two clicks a day would be good regardless of what's up there.

Thats what inspired me to make this thread ;o

I'd still like to know how much the payment is, or how it works, if anyone knows, or maybe Cid himself if he has time can tell us. :greenie:

I get on click 25 times, and browse the rest of the day, due to financial concerns.

Does that really work in that way, though?

Don't know, but either way, if it does, thats wonderful, if not, oh well.
