808794 2009-09-11 05:54:00 what are the adds paying for?

Costs of hosting and maintaining I assume.

I expect it chews through a fair amount of bandwidth, and may have higher server demands than an average shared hosting plan could provide. It probably runs on it's own dedicated server.

808799 2009-09-11 07:08:00 Sheeeesh!

I go away for a few hours and this happens . I thought I had caught the H1N1 in the puter, but I fired up three units and they all did the same thing .

I live so far away from the advertisers that I cannot possibly trade with or even consider accepting discounts for anything in Upsidedown Land .

At least try to keep the ads local to youse guys and leave us Rightside Uppers alone!

Where is this "width" setting in ABP?

I know the problem's in here, but how do I block it?

808800 2009-09-11 07:19:00 They have a web designer (Mary?) who I'm sure has been told to raise the profile of the advertising.


Mary left ages ago didn't she

Of the current "guests", 60 are bots and 172 are proper Guests, so about 65% are proper people which'll shift depending on time of day, search engine spidering schedule, etc. PressF1 generally ranks well in the search engines so a LOT of surfers will be coming and going.

Oh, you're right, at least 3 years ago (pressf1.co.nz). I'm waaay out of the loop, heh.
