Keep Clicking! Looks like the clicking went down a little this weekend ... Also the amount per click seems to have gone down but it seems from Google thats normal.

Anyways we have:

$19.48 in ad money.
$56.00 in donations.

I dont get any of the ad money until the account reaches $100 and its only transferred at the end of the month. I think it would be best to save the ad money until we can afford 6 months or a year in advance and use donations to pay for the monthly cost until then. Mainly since I have to waste until its $100 before I get anything anyways.

Let me know what you think

When do I get paid?

We'll send your check or EFT payment within approximately 30 days of the end of the month in which your account balance reaches US$100, unless a payment hold exists or unless otherwise agreed to in writing (including electronic mail).

For example, if you earn $40 in January and $70 in February, we'll send payment to you by the end of March.

If your account balance is less than US$100 at the end of the month, we'll roll your earnings over to the following month, until the payment threshold is reached. Balances include the combined earnings of AdSense for content, AdSense for search and referrals. You can review the Life of a Payment diagram below for a more complete picture of the payment cycle.

We currently have 89 banner clicks, and have accrued $13.70

So I added the ads. They require clicking to make money. Not enough clicking or donating means the site goes down.

EDIT
Looks like we get $0.10 a click ... we've had 20 clicks and made 2.11

Looking at the info the rate may go up based on page impressions which I gather is higher traffic and more clicks links back to this site being the referrer ... so more click from more users equals more money .... I think there is some filtering for same user clicking repeatedly ... Honestly I'm new to the ad stuff here.

I will add the ad funds to our donation amount every few weeks ...

Thanks to the input from my last news post I will soon be adding advertisements to the site. Expect to see ads and pop-ups. Once they are up please click on them frequently.

Oh, and the donation amount is current.

And I will try to stop making so many posts about the status of donations and lack there of.

It is halfway through the month and we have not had any donations thus far. I would like to point out that the same handful of people have been donating every month. There are plenty of you that use this site that can help. Please help this site stay open. Donate.


EDIT (response to comments)

I try and keep the donation status updated fairly frequently. The monthy payment for the site is automatically taken from the paypal account now. If we want to save for a year at a time, we have to donate above and beyond the monthly cost.

As for younger members without credit cards, I have offered to email my address to those ppl who ask in the past. When I did this I did not get one single donation from the people I gave my address out to. I would prefer not to give my address out for no reason.

We have over 35,000 members. I am sure quite a few of those are old enought to have credit or debit cards for online donations. Considering the number of members and authors this site has, it should not be near as difficult as it is to get donations. Honestly the longer this goes the more convinced I am to just close the site.

I am leaving it up to you all as members and users of the site to determine the future of the site.
