Re: [Haifux] Make money from our sites
Hello, I see one main benefit of this: To know, once and for all, how much money one can *really* make out of web advertising. My personal hunch: nil. It's pay-per-click, and last time I remember, which was in the dot-com era, it was $0.13 / click at its best, $0.05 nominal. But I would love to be proven wrong.

Re: [Haifux] Make money from our sites
I saw some sites that used the following scheme to get some revenues: 1) Everyone entering the site will have banners here and there, perhaps a few nasty pop-ups. 2) People that don't want ads or popups have the ability to pay a small fee per year. This is something that can be included in the member of Hamakor, for example. I not a big fan of ads and/or popups, but I do think that for such sites and can work. I wonder if we can get those think-geek ads as well, like the ones in Slashdot... ;-) Eran - Original Message - From: "Alon Altman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Haifux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 10:37 PM Subject: [Haifux] Make money from our sites > Hi, > Have you considered joining Google's AdSense program and serve ads on > iglu.org.il and haifux.org as well as other Israeli linux sites?

I vote firmly against this. Popups are evil and should not be used on any respectful site. The reason I suggested Google's text ads is that they seem unobtrusive enough to be used on our sites and still generate revenue.

Re: [Haifux] Make money from our sites
Popups are just one of the things we can use. Unintrusive ads usualy don't get much attention most of the time, so it will mostly take up space rather than generate revenue. Another good way of generating revenues is getting some sponsers. This can be done in exchange for some of the vast knowledge people have here regarding Linux and computers in general. Sponsers like IBM, Sun, other software companies that are related to UN*X and Linux in Israel and so on. Put a banner to their site and perhaps get some hardware, bandwidth, web space or whatever from them. These sponsers will be more than just one timers that pops up whenever there is a gathering of some sort. It will be more like an adoption :-) I don't really know, but is Actcom helping more than just in Hamakor gatherings, for example?

Re: [Haifux] Make money from our sites
Perhaps there is a need for additional sponsers. I know that I click on ads or banners in REALLY rare cases. I guess you can appeal to the community and ask them to click one time each day, but that's not the point for that, is it... What is the goal for this money that will be collected through these ads anyway?

Money can be used for a wide variety of activites under Ha'makor's charter, such as support for installation parties, advertising, and activites such as the August Penguin.
