"I see no advertising. "You have probably blocked ads in your internet browser
As someone who works in advertising at the local newspaper level, I'm glad to see them put ads up. Right now, ads are down across the board for all forms of media- radio, TV, internet, print- which is really stupid. There's so many competitors for so many different products/services, they all can't survive. Someone's gonna come out on top, and its generally the guy who's at the front of the consumer's mind.
Are they going to advertise Jeff's vicious drug habit?
What do I mean by that? You know exactly what I mean by that.
*rubs three fingers together*
Money is what that means.
I've been curious for a long time as to how they've been keeping this site rolling and keeping food in the staff's mouths. I'm really glad to see that Watchmen ad floating around on the site.
"LiquidPrince said:Are you implying he's stealing your thoughts?"I'm glad too. If there is any website that deserves profit, it's this one."My thoughts exactly!"
"Did they receive any money from the 25 min EvE online bombcast that they did? Lots of people have probably bought EvE because of it..."I doubt it, that was more of a site feature than an advertisement. And I suspect most people who listened to it and wanted to try it will probably just try out the free trial, and then never move onto subscribing to it fully.
"Kind of surprised I'm the only one who is going to mention this, but I like how the post went from being about advertisements on GB to your website. No offense."It's a blog so that's why. I suppose he didn't have to publish it to the forums, but hey. Sometimes you just gotta let the everyone know how much you appreciate the site. :)
I do enjoy seeing the ads as well. As long as they don't get carried away. All of sudden I'm looking at the Endurance Run video page and a free trial of Viagra pops up on my screen. I have a feeling that at that point Jeff and the rest of the crew have lost it.
Also, how did you get an exclusive interview with a movie star? I'm gonna have to check it out.
"Kohe321 said:Yeah but on the advertising part of the site they mentioned Podcast Appearances as an option for companies to purchase. I'm not sure if that's what it was though. In any case I'm glad to see ad's!"Did they receive any money from the 25 min EvE online bombcast that they did?

"EvilTwin said:Haha! I don't even have a PS2. I'm seriously about to go buy a used one and a copy of P4."Atlus should be paying them for the Endurance Run. Literally buying a copy of Persona 4 this week because of it. Maybe Persona 3 FES too, if I end up really enjoying it. "Im sure because of the endurance run, there are a lot of people buying P4 haha."
It's great to see that GiantBomb do get their fair share of funding through advertising. We all love these guys enough to stand this shit.
Good luck with the blog, I'll certainly check it out. Is it something you just put together? First critique, change the grey background to white or an image of any kind please :D
i still don't see any ads... i have to say, i've been wondering how GB made any money. please don't go bankrupt, as this is pretty much the best site ever. i would cry. tears.
