You can imagine how many 'clicks' CF get when in an argumentative mood :lol: I wonder who is laughing all the way to the bank?

I can only hazard a guess. :wink:

I think you have to actually click the link for money to be paid. Not just use the site the ad appears on.

People are always in trouble with google for 'clicking their own links', usually bloggers!

lol boomerang! I actually get paid to monitor some ads when working re copyright infringement! But definitely not on this forum!

The ads appear in the hope that people will click them, they are a source of revenue for this forum website.

And I am not so much surprised that ads promoting holidays in the TRNC or hotels in Turkey appear on here (they appear all over the internet, on TV and in magazines etc) as surprised that some of the members who cannot even stand to see any posts written mentioning the TRNC in anything other than an derogatory light haven't noticed it themselves and become outraged by it!

Yes - 'outrage' seems to be all the rage nowadays.
