Frank Like Money
What's the biggest complaint I keep getting about my site? Not enough ads. Okay, no one has ever said that, but I'm going to experiment with putting some ads on my site. I wanted to make an Amazon.com link that was items I like, but it was hard to make it look nice; I'll play around with that later. Anyway, did you know that they are finally putting Indiana Jones onto DVD? Well, buy it through clicking on my link and I get money. Hooray! To be clear on things, any money donated to me goes towards the website. I have over $400 from donations, so I'm well set for covering regular expenses of the website and have extra money for some other site improvements if I ever think of anything (I may do flash animations in the future). Suggestions on what site improvements I could spend that money on would be appreciated. Money I get from t-shirt sales or ads goes towards my personal finances to fund future, evil ventures. Muh ha ha ha. 23 Responses To "Frank Like Money"
If I gave you $100 billion, would you attack Egypt? #1 - Posted by: Laurence Simon on July 12, 2003 10:49 PMIt's a trap! Do not buy the first three Indiana Jones movies on DVD as a complete set and then have them release the Completer Indiana Jones DVD set that includes the fourth one they're going to do soon. That's almost as bad as buying the leather-bound More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and then have Douglas Adams write Mostly Harmless. #2 - Posted by: Brian J. on July 12, 2003 10:56 PMLaurence, Brian, Yeah, and watch out that they don't go in and "digitally retouch" the old ones too... rearranging stuff and adding fake scenes. You thought South Park was only kidding about that crap... #4 - Posted by: Mollbot on July 12, 2003 11:07 PMHey, how about tossing a nominal amount towards Laurence, Meryl, or Michele for MDA for the Blogathon, plus giving their effort the IMAO stamp of approval? I bet a lot of people would link to that. Numerous times. Many, many links.... #5 - Posted by: Wind Rider on July 12, 2003 11:14 PMMoveable Type plugin for Amazon: http://mtamazon.sourceforge.net #6 - Posted by: Pogue on July 12, 2003 11:20 PMIf I gave 100 billion lira, could you at least afford to write a story about Buck the Marine attacking Egypt? #7 - Posted by: TH on July 12, 2003 11:49 PMTry Netflix affiliate program. #8 - Posted by: Fritz on July 13, 2003 12:26 AMYou could take some of that donation and drop it in my tip jar. Then I would be able to spend an extended amount of time linking to you---then you will rise up on the EcoSystem, surpassing Glenn Reynolds and everyone will think you are the new GodBlogger. Then they will send you even more money and you will be able to quit your job and spend all day working on ways to improve your site. Or you can spend your money on dates, thus diminishing your available amount of time to blog so others can syphon off your audience. Not me, obviously, since my blog is not humorous. Very different kind of blog. Not the kind you would ever link to. #10 - Posted by: Jennifer on July 13, 2003 05:28 AMYou don't remember Greedo in Marion's bar in Raiders of the Lost Ark? You must not have been paying attention! #11 - Posted by: Brian J. on July 13, 2003 08:34 AMRemember, you may have to make sacrifices to be good, but you can always be evil for free.;) Translation: I don't have the money to be the big fat patron you deserve. #12 - Posted by: Bloodthirsty Warmonger on July 13, 2003 10:37 AMGood idea, Fritz; I'm a Netflix member myself. Everyone else's ideas are bad. Think harder. Wait, what was the question? #13 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 13, 2003 10:46 AMWell, I just ordered my Indiana Jones DVDs. I read your post, then mentioned it to the wife, and she told me to get right back to the computer and buy the discs. She likes Harrison Ford. I keep telling her not to think of him as a sex symbol, and that he's actually gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), and is secretly married to Tom Cruise (there is something HORRIBLY wrong with that), but she wants the damn movies anyway. I need better lies to change her mind. Frank J, can you help me? I've seen your great work against the hated Instapundit, and I just know you're the right guy to craft my Harrison Ford lies. I already ordered the DVDs from your link, so don't worry about screwing yourself out of the cash if your lies are too effective. #14 - Posted by: TomK on July 13, 2003 12:05 PMTom, Why are you using Amazon's program? Use Google's AdSense. It's by click-through amounts, not impressions and they're so much nicer looking (all text) and quicker loading. #17 - Posted by: Ryan on July 13, 2003 02:02 PMRyan, Anyone have any other ideas? #18 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 13, 2003 02:09 PMWell, Frank, I am certain a number of your female fans would pay to see you shirtless..... #19 - Posted by: Susie on July 13, 2003 04:54 PMHow much? Wait, that's not the point of this site. I just want ad ideas. #20 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 13, 2003 05:43 PMFrank, AdSense seems to be the best option out there right now. It automatically tailors each ad to suit the content of the page it resides, you earn around 30 to 40 cents per click, and they are super quick loading which helps with bandwidth costs. I'm sure most of your regular readers(me included) would be willing to click on a couple of text links per visit. There are no flashing graphics, and no cheesy popups. Go to https://www.google.com/adsense/ to check it out. It's really easy to set up also. You'll be raking in the dough in no time. #21 - Posted by: Ryan on July 14, 2003 01:35 AMThere is only one good way for you spend your extra revenue. You must form a Not For Profit Corporation. This will be the Church of IMAO. Dude! Google AdSense just rejected me because of my site content! Bastards! #23 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 14, 2003 01:40 PMPost a comment
