Popunders and popups reduction.

Hi everyone,

Again in an effort to strive towards eliminating popups and popunders I've reduced (yet again) a massive amount of popups and popunder advertisers. This means you'll still get them, but at a much lower amount now. Out of 1000 popups I could have running, there are only 96. Those 96 are spread out for different countries so if your in the USA, Canada, UK you won't get the same popups. Thus, USA might get 30 different ones only.

Because these are the top paying ones, they come up less often (obviously), so you might not even get one.

But if you do, please check them out by clicking on them.

I hope this large revenue hit (being honest with you as usual) makes visiting Total Motorcycle more pleasurable for you and that you find yourself visiting more often.

Mike

Thanks Mike!
I definitely notice the difference. I only get 1 pop-under about every other visit. At one time I was getting 3 per visit, however since they were pop-unders they really didn't bother me. I'll try to remember to click 'em when they show up!

You (and all the visitors) are MOST welcome!! I'm glad to have been able to do it for you all. Unlike the vast majority of the sites out there, Total Motorcycle's purpose was to support motorcyclists and motorcycling FIRST, not money first. Thus, I kill ads to make everyone's visit here more enjoyable.

Trouble is Mike, most of the Pop Up's I get are for weird arsed crap.....talking smilies, Votar the Mystic, and things like that. Be nice if there were some that were topic related to the forum, such as Bill's Visor Bug Be Gone.

However, I can understand the need for revenue generation, if just to pay for the overhead cost of running this site, so IMHO pop-up, even that god awful one with a Smilies shouting "OH MY GOD, NO WAY!!!!" is a small price for us to pay.

I know, I get those ones too. But at least I only get a popup not so often now. I'm quite limited on what pops I have for Canada. (USA, UK, etc has different ones). The Canadian ones are ... well... lacking quality. But there is only 3 of them left.

Thanks for understanding why I still need a few pops for revenue. I honestly killed 95%+ of them, guaranteed. But that 5% is the skin on the bone.
