  • Point n' click - it's that easy to help ACS!

    There currently going on some sort of a charity campaign
    for collecting cash for donating funds to ACS, so that Markos and
    Dan could afford a new server. But everyone doesn't have that
    cash to give them, even if they would be delighted to do so.
    Not all of us have a credit card to use for PayPal or any other
    payment delievery service. Of course you can use cheques and
    money orders, but it's not cheap.

    There is a much easier and cost effective way to rise funds
    for that server or perhaps more bandwith.

    Point n' click!

    What!?! Point n' click?!?

    Yes, the point n' click campaign is based on a simple
    idea, apolytoners simply click on the add banners that
    can be found a bit everywhere.

    But what's new with this camapaign then? We have seen
    those banners for a long time!

    Yes, but how many of us have actually clicked them?
    I suppose not so many. Or even if we have, how often have
    we done that?

    The point is that apolytoners would try to click at least
    one ad banner page page they view, every time when
    they access a page (no matter if they would have been
    there before). The banners work also when opened in
    a new browser window, so it wouldn't disturb one's
    surfing so much.

    If one visitor visits 10 pages (who wouldn't) and clicks at
    1 banner per evey 10 page, the total amount of clicks
    would be 10.

    The pay out formula of banners is quite varieying, but I assume
    it's under 0.05$ per clicker, but Dan or Markos could perhaps
    reveal us the formula they get paid with for the visitors they
    catch on ACS to click on those ad banners.

    10 x 0.05 = 0.50

    10 clicks, 0.05$ each, earned cash 0.50$

    If one visitor does that in two week time every day
    (10 x 14 = 140), the amount of clicks is 140.

    140 x 0.05 = 7

    The amount of cash collected for ACS would be 7$.

    If 5000 visitors would do the same, it would be...

    5000 x 7 = 35000

    35 000$, if I have calculated correctly.
    And even if the payment per click would just
    0.01$ (quite usual), the amount would still be...

    140 x 0.01 = 1.4
    5000 x 1.4 = 7000

    7000$! Wouldn't that be enough for a server for ACS?
    So it doesn't have to be so difficult to help Markos and Dan.

    Just point n' click!

    the click days are almost over

    nearly all our ads are not click based

      But it would still bring you more cash, if people would
      follow the advice by clicking UGO's banners and
      those that clearly aren't ACS ads (I suppose you're
      not giving away free ad views to Castrol ).

        I would much rather send them a check than all these indirect schemes. (For instance why buy $ 50 of merchandise for which Dan and Mark only get $10. I'd much rather send them cash.

          This is just an alternative way to help.
          I didn't say anything bad of the cheque donations.

            Well, they refuse to accept donations.

                So my suggestion would be a better option then.

                  Point for you.

                  Seriously, though. It sounds awfully silly to click ads.

                    Stupid or not, do you have any better suggestions?

                      I wrote several pages of suggestions. See several locked threads with me as originator.

                      We're on the same side.

                      The idea of clicking away to generate revenue is IMHO more flawed internet attitude. I think such a deliberate campaign would be enterpreted by advertisers as a violation of either spirit or letter of ad contracts. (i.e people clicking on ads they are not at all interested in.)
