Why are we advertising kick and clap on this site?

Where?



If you're referring to the adverts just below the main forum banners, then that's Google Adsense.

Even if they were it'd be for the money anyway.

100s of adverts on this site now. Most of them are dynamic as well.. ugh. Glad I use the mobile version 90% of the time.

Yeah, this 'used to be' a non-profit website, but I can tell you now they must be making £1,000's a month. Server/Domain/Hosting facilities aren't exactly cheap, but not THAT much!

Who cares if they're making money? Good on them for doing so.

Isn't it cookie advertising, which means someone has looked at union stuff on your computer?

Me too.

Far too many adverts. 3 one of top of the other at bottom of page is ridiculous and hardly likely to increase your click through revenue other than by accident! Tho maybe that's the idea....

I know, tell me about it. If you look on google earth, there are a new set of islands that spell out the names of Mugwump, tb and Mintball. I overheard a conversation between some of the moderators as well, complaining that they weren't allowed to have any optional extras on the McLaren F1's they were being given as company cars and moaning that they weren't allowed to use the RLFANS.COM private jet.

We've had to mothball the jet after tb and minty took it to perpignan, it just takes way to long to clean after their parties.

If anyone see an advert they think has no place on rlfans.com then get the url and send in a support.rlfans.com request and we'll take a look.

I believe it's called behavioural targeting...

I have no problem with the adverts.....it beats having to pay to access the site!

A lot of websites offer subscriptions for people that don't want to see adverts. Granted some of them have more horrific ones (video ads, pop-ups/unders, etc.) but at least it's an additional revenue stream.

Thats a great idea, we'll look into it

You mean I have a virus on my PC? Better get it checked I will be wearing gloves and padded helmet next.

Adverts are fine, but not fond of seeing large banner ads about the union lionesses tour match at old sydnonians. I come on here to get away from the union biased media.

I try not to let completely irrelevant little things upset me, I find it leads to a pretty depressing existence otherwise.

Just be happy in the knowledge that their money is directly funding our great game.

Alternatively you could team up with Durham Giant and go on a sponsor destroying vigilante mission to rid Rugby League of all evil...

...I thought leaguefreak was banned

you guys actually READ the ads??????

Unfortunately i can see no way of getting rid of Wigan!

Ffs... Now they've put 4 adverts on every Page of the mobile site too.

Cheers rlfans.

If you would rather pay for use of the website instead I'm sure admin would be very happy to talk to you.

Is there anything Rugby League fans won't moan about? The money from adverts on the site pay all the costs which is incurred by running and maintaining a large site such as this. It also directly fund RL initiatives right through from grass roots to sponsorship of the Exiles. It keeps this site free to use and means us, as members, don't have to pay a subscription fee.

Is it really that hard to just ignore a small advert at the side of a page? You're adults not children.

Hmmmm......the Jury's still out on that one

Not a problem it was the creation of this thread that reminded me it needed doing.



I think the crux has been mentioned already, but I will re-iterate, this site is now so popular it needs adverts to keep it afloat, I can't think of any other similar site in any sport or RL like LRL, superleaguefans, totalrl, skysports etc that is run without advertising, we keep the ads in set positions that hardly really get in the way of what is to over 130,000 regular users a totally free website, free news, free forums, free fantasy rl, free live scores, free ticket giveaways, free stats, free mobile sites. A place you can go, free from spam, bullying, illegal posts, a community feel etc.

It does take considerable costs to keep all that running smoothly even when over 3000 people are on at peak times. So the ads are here to stay, however if you fancy donating a large chink of money to rlfans we'll make sure the adverts are all removed for you

Keep the adverts keep the site that's a no brainer then, i don't care about adverts that's a reason i have sky plus go right threw adverts brill

Yet to be mentioned on this thread is where RLFANS profits end up which you can read all about [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=1&t=475747HERE[/url.

If you don’t want to post on here then feel free to go on Facebook where advertisements are around too. Only these adverts on Facebook don’t benefit rugby league and only serve to make Mark Zuckerberg richer.
