HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?

I hate the effing pop up adds! I will gladly pay not to look at them. Please do as the Weather Underground does. Give us the choice. Premium membership. Pay $10.00 a year and no adds.

I WANT TO PAY I HATE ADDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 8)

Good day

OK I used the wrong term. Banner adds at the top and bottom. If $10.00 a year is not more than you make off advertising then what is?? Now you are on the hot seat.

Zane, instead of working on all of Rob's (and even my requests), just work on BCP v2.0.

Good day

Re: HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?

What pop up Ads? All I get are the ones on the top and bottom of the pages. Don't pay much attention to them but I do click on a few to make it worth Zane's time to keep this site operating. Nothing in life is free!

Re: HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?

Yeah, what pop up ads? They're just Google adsense. I selected Text+Image ads instead of just the old Text ads. They don't take up any extra space than the old ones, and occasionally a Ford pickup shows up, or an airplane. Popups would be a violation of their agreement, so I am curious to know what happened to make something launch a popup.

That's a little on the low end for a "premium membership," don't you think? :)

Re: HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?

I do think $20 is a bit low for "premium membership". This brings up something I've been thinking of. I feel there ought to be a more obvious way to donate to the site. Am I not looking in the right place?

I see a Perry Marshall Google ad up top and a Laser Spine Institute ad at the bottom.

Bill O Reilly and Lars Larsen are in the $5.00 a month range. When you get on radio and TV you can get that for a premium membership. For now $1.00 a month and free airplane rides.

Lets call it an upgraded membership.

You need a Pay Pal button Pal :mrgreen:

Re: HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?

The good news is that the BCP bank account just tipped $1100 since I started it last May. That includes 2 generous donations from Meat Servo and Hicountry, the rest is ad revenue, which has been about $80-100/month on average. This should be enough to finance the apparel buy coming up.

I don't mind sharing this information, as it is obviously not a boon. I don't do this for the money. I just want flying buddies and a source of knowledge and entertainment.

As for donations, it is important to me that all the services here be free to encourage participation. Donations will be accepted via a Paypal interface when the new site is completed, but until then I cannot in good conscience make that available. I have more than reaped my benefit for the small amount of work I do here just in friendship and freebies. :)

Re: HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?

You could pull as much in from donations from those of us that would not rather see any ads on BCP1.0....

I'm sorry they're so offensive. Unfortunately they are here to stay until BCP 2.0. Even then, I'll be opening up to aviation industry advertisers. If you don't like them, check out Adblock Plus for Firefox or the equivalent for Google Chrome.

And this is BCP 1.5, a regression from 1.0, which was way nicer looking.

Re: HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY?

I like them Z, so far a have coupons to Papa Johns, Target (only applies to General Mills products), Dish network and free enrollment to the University of Phoenix. Still looking for my Chili's coupon though.

Never said they're offensive..I should've used a smilie. I don't mind them, I'd just prefer to not have them on here. But since you refuse donations, I just click on the ads from time to time to hopefully get your revenue up.
