Trying out different options. I dont think it does that much on forums, news etc. You are bothered with them on member profile?

members are not advertising posters... it seems really bad

kakaka !!

I like it ahaahah

It doesn't matter if they are or not

dTm

I don't mind them on the site except for on the member profiles, no real need for them there imo.

Dev1

ignore them? Nothing hard... when you will have web page you will understand what is it about. This adsense can pay hole code and design of the page so you can actually profit from it.

magmax

Dev1 , let me laugh ;> Your "when you will have a web page you will understand what is it about" us totaly senseless as you know who I am and what websites i've owned ...
seeing that team-aaa earned more than 100 000€ / year with only their website, SK-Gaming is actualy earning more than 3 (5? 10?) times more...
They DIDN'T need to add as much google ads but they seem to be only aiming for the biggest profit and don't even care of what their community wants ...
But esport is not popular enough, the community isnt unlimited and they have to worry about it or they gonna lose members, that's the way...
I don't wanna be seen as a money machines ... and i believe than most of your guys dont want it too

Dev1

@magmax
yeah sry i dont :> Someone who want to be member of this site will dont just leave cos of some random text or logos somewhere at the page, untill they are static and dont jump to me in every corner and every click on the site :) iam sensitive for agressive ad's and iam leaving that kind of page in a second but adSense is something what i really easily can ignore. And dont be funny, its all about money. What will you do, have a 10.000$ more in a month or lets say 50,100 members extra? Heh...

JdlF

@magmax
Totaly agree.... Moreover adsenses are sensitive to cookies to bring a 'good' publicity to customers, depending on the website you are on and your 'google profile' which keeps informations about what you're looking for. So on sk i've only ads for female gaming website, why??? :p

Koen-

@magmax
I get these ads:
Google ads
Google AdWords: Voordelig en snel veel bezoekers op uw site. Kijk nu!
:) They advertise for themselfs in their own advertisments.
There are programs to block all ads.

Koen-

I don't mind the Google ads but the following on the SK website do ****
(sorry for the image size, about 3mb every image)

aLaaaaa

remove this 98758 ads please... we are members, not €...

SK|bds

Seems like no one realise the cost to have such a huge web site running. We are doing our best to make ads not destroying the usability.

JdlF

@bds
Just sometinh like the location of 5 or 6 servers. ^^

Koen-

@bds
We do realize the cost but those winner/visitor ads do destory the usability. I don't have any problems with normal images/ads which are somehow related to gaming/SK.
(Maybe SK Insider had to stay, to cover some of the cost.)

SK|bds

@bds
We are working on adding relevant ads.

magmax

@bds
I know the cost of suge a website, but i also know that you're earning a hell lot of money with the website (and getting a lot of new users everyday)... I've always been realy happy to see so much improvements in the website and so on, but i dont wanna see SK-Gaming as ONLY a money maker :>
Im a bit confused to see some "CHEAT WEBSITES" in the ads of the most professional esport portail ever :/
Im totaly agreeing the fact u need to use this website for your sponsors (and im quite sure u're earning more with the website than with anything else , then it's normal to advertise on it) but not in this way :(

@Getstream
You don't have to be British in order to talk sense.

-FloweR-

Why are these google ads disturb you so much? just simply ignore them?

-fabian

@Koen-
next time no bmp please. using jpeg in stead would make it like10 times smaller.

SK|Malystryx

to be honest, they are positioned in places that are out of the way and dont directly disturb your viewing of the website. Gotfrag for example everyime I read a news I look thinking the add in the text is related to the news =[

SK|FoReVeR_ManUtd

@Malystryx
that is actually a good idea. you don't have to bother finding image for news everytime ;D

magmax

@Malystryx
I agree ... But as SK gaming is listening the members in a realy good way, I just wanted to say i was a bit dissapointed and also heard if i was the only one ;>

Heuving

I cant blame SK, it cuts the costs and pays the bills. If insiders dont have ads i can agree even more since they pay for the extra's.

Yag-Nosyt

I don't understand you. Sk-gaming gives all information for free, you can upload pictures and videos and download most of the stuff. There is no reason to blame sk for ads they need to supply the page all of us visit every day.

magmax

@Yag-Nosyt
? please try to use your brain ... SK Gaming isnt giving this for free, as their website members are their biggest way to earn money....

dont be stupid please

Yag-Nosyt

@Yag-Nosyt
I don't remeber every having paid anything to sk-gaming. But i read their news, watch their players replays download files and discuss @forums. So what?

magmax

@Yag-Nosyt
a lot of people (like me) used to pay for SK-Insider ...

And dude, their sponsors pay a hell lot to be on this website, and their user databe is awesome

hostilepulse

and my text view just fucked up

SK|bds

@Yag-Nosyt
Magmax, its quite obvious you do not have an idea how this business work.

xenon-_-

I do not care realy ... actualy they need to be, you need to earn some money for your hard work, like people from SK do it ;) so i agree with those google ads, there is nothing bad at all.

If you work hard for something, you should be payed for it ;) thats how business work =).. And if someone think SK-Gaming dont work enough and good for us, he should think twice ..

SworD_

by this google ads SK will be upgraded (php , design..) is good for SK and for US

badou

Fuck :(:(:(

enemy

dont like adds? download firefox & addblock

closethread.

magmax

@enemy
stupid cunt, it has nothing to do with "how to block the adds"

enemy

@enemy
i think bds made it obvious enough already how clueless you are

robocopvn

I agree

robocopvn

EffeXy
