New banner ads on your blog – Dont worry just read this!
Dont worry about the ads, we had to take down our test server to keep server costs down so were doing the testing on site. Were working on making the ads optional but the first hill was making all the ads appear on all blogs across server. If we carnt work out how to make them optional in a week then they’ll just be removed and we will work on other ways to breakeven the costs of keeping our 1,700 users blogs up

This is only a test run we could easily have 12 popups, 4 popunders, and 100 banner ads always visable if we wanted
But choseit is not a business, its a free service, kind of like a charity, we give out the free blogs so that people can express themselves. We have not been making any money on choseit since we opened but the server costs are greater now $70 a month (which is not bad for 1,700 bloggers). But with exchange rates (we’re english) its bringing cost up more than we can just spend.
We did have google adsense revenue share so that if the user chose to use ads then 30% of the time our google ads would be shown but a few shifty users decided to click their own ads to try and scam google. Google caught on and has told us we can no longer use their ads on choseit….
So you can see our side i hope ![]()
(and if we asked each user of the 1,700 to give us $0.05 we would have $85 a month and be fine but funnily enough not even 20 users will even reply to mandatory reply emails due to lazyness or to actually setting our free service emails to spam). But oh well one day when I have time ill be going through all 1,700 blogs and all that are not being used properly will be deleated so we just have the users that actually want to use choseit properly.
