There has been a change from Google to another ad provider I believe because Google was getting more sticky about what it would let its ads appear on. I think this was a necessary change and I did say to Bill Sweetman that we should be putting the ads on as soon as a domain expires, not three days or a week later so as to maximise on the income AND alert customers to the expiry (as we have a custom header). I don't know if that will happen but I believe it has to. I was also suggesting that we have some sort of syndication so we could use the same ads on customers holding pages on web hosting accounts or even on 404 pages if we wanted to on some of our free or very low cost services. Its all about maximising revenue and I have never had a customer complain about having the ads on their parked page. Yes, we could make more by doing the ads ourselves but this way its money for nothing. -- Regards Gordon Hudson Hostroute.com Ltd www.hostroute.net _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
