Refresh Rate Ad Space - taylors4959 - Feb 3, 2025
Personally I am a huge fan of the two ad spaces on the top of the site.
Why not add a user base refresh rate for community activity growth goal? is this private or not allowed
😡😤🙃✌

The way YouTube bumped the video ad space up was by using shorts display, vertical, so 3 vs 1 in that ad space.
It's a neat and clearly leading innovative theory.

I like how it is now IMO. It's not that its not allowed. Omniscient controls what ads are placed there behind closed doors in terms of payment/longevity of ads. Not sure he wants to change how ads are produced now to a user base system.
With the other forums closing and possible increased traffic to the forums. Maybe he should increase ad pricing due to possible increased traffic :)

What is a user base refresh rate for community activity growth? Your title "Refresh Rate Ad Space" doesn't help me either.
I believe you're asking about adding refresh options on the banners. Currently there are 6 banners that rotate for the 2 positions and randomly are selected on each page load. Most visitors view multiple pages so the chances of them seeing most or all the ads by the time they are done browsing is pretty good.
Here is past 30 days Analytics..

The current ads don't use any JS and that's intentional. JS ads tend to be easier to block with Ad Blocking software. And I don't see a benefit in adding some settings or a cookie for a refresh rate.
If you're interested in seeing all the ads, that's easy...

Hope that resolves this.
