- 2,911 American dollars? Oh my.--Hardvice (talk) 01:20, 1 January 2007 (EST)
- Yep, American dollars. Google ads aren't cheap. ;) Plus that doesn't include advertising from previous months. heh. I figured if I'm going to disclose ad revenue I should disclose ad expenses as well to be fair. My hope is that it will become possible to reduce advertising expenses as word-of-mouth advertising increases. Regardless advertising is important for us so I'm going to keep it up so we continue to grow. While we're still in the red I'm going to take the liberty of dedicating as much of the monthly revenue to charity as I want (anywhere from 50%-100%) at the expense of offsetting my advertising costs. I'm hoping ad revenue will increase once Heroes is putting out new episodes again. We're not getting as many visits as we do when new episodes air. Since we make money for impressions as well as clicks (albeit more for clicks) the more visits the better off we'll be. (Admin 01:51, 1 January 2007 (EST))
- I think that's a very good idea ... I'm curious to see how the clicks increase by the end of January. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:44, 1 January 2007 (EST)
- You seem to be quite adamant about this site becoming popular... or you are obscenely rich. If it is the first case, I can't but question your motives. Are you really honest about your intentions to keep this site not-for-profit?
- I suppose realistically you can't believe me if I do say I'm honest about my intentions since if I were dishonest it would be a lie. ;) But anyway, yes, I do plan to keep it not-for-profit. As I said before it would feel inappropriate to use advertising to personally make money off the site; it's the community that makes this wiki what it is, not just me. As discussed before at least 50% of any revenue will go to charity with the remaining revenue helping to pay for advertising costs. Because I also believe in transparency I post revenue, expense, and site statistics so everyone can see exactly what's going on. Fortunately Google's advertising policy does allow me to post ad revenue summary information. In any event, if you don't trust what I say, just watch what I end up doing and in time you'll see. :) (Admin 17:30, 11 January 2007 (EST))

Google Ads
- I'm assuming the expenses decrease is due to dropping Google Ads? Wow, they're expensive, aren't they? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 07:07, 1 March 2007 (EST)
- That's correct. The expenses are entirely Google Ads. I used some during February (this week for example), but with the popularity of the site already I didn't need to spend nearly as much. (Admin 09:19, 1 March 2007 (EST))
April
Breaking even?
Wow, I think it's great that you are still putting out so much for donations when it appears we aren't even close to breaking even yet...--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:19, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
- And the cost of the new server isn't even reflected in there. :) That's why recently the percentage of revenue donated has been lower, but I think we're still donating a good deal of the revenue. (Admin 10:31, 2 August 2007 (EDT))
