I guess the way the adsense system works is the people who click are the ones who are genuinally interested. Therefore if you promote people to just click for no reason other than to support you then the advertiser would be charged for a click that is very unlikely to lead to a sale. Distorting the click-to-conversation type ratio. Specifically for your case hzakimoto, if you want to encourage people to help support you. I guess the best approach would be to place an obvious "Donate" button and ask people to support you that way. -- "The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution" - Bertrand Russell Andy Savage Cell Phone: +852 936 34341 Skype ID: andy_savage Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/andysavage On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 1:40 PM, hzakimoto <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I use a number of providers.
