Harpodom 6,299 Posted May 29, 2012 If so (FWIW I think it is), does it represent British society, or is it skewed in some way towards a more conservative political ideology, especially towards crime, immigration and welfare provision.

mickyb 836 Posted May 29, 2012 Another controversial thread designed by a mod or former mod . As if you hadn't got enough on your hands ! Does advertising revenue increase on big threads as it diverts this way and that , all kinds of ads popping up top and bottom on my screen , or am I just a silly old sceptic ?

What a strange response to have, and to be honest the ads showing on mine are for clothes shopping and Singapore, the same ones show on all the threads I am browsing, so by Dom starting a new thread it isn't making me want to click on them anymore, sorry.

Freckleface 3,066 Posted May 29, 2012 I don't have any first hand experience of British society so I can't comment from that perspective but I think the forum is fairly balanced - which is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARYROSE02 2,003 Posted May 29, 2012 Britain and Australia are both capitalist democracies and most of us are middle class Tories, so, apart from the odd pinko, still seething over the collapse of the USSR and its satellites.

Not strange at all . Another potentially flammable thread . I'm sure you posted the others in complete innocence , but with hindsight perhaps you can see there was potential there ?? Not so much clicking on advertising as key word recognition . I had advert for converting to Islam yesterday . Does revenue not come through these channels ? Serious question as I was approached by company that creates company websites that earn money on views . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you do get paid per click and on most of the forums we own this is less than $5 per week, so don't worry about me, I'm not going to become an instant millionaire overnight just because there are a few threads which MAY have potentional. Also you will find its not always done on keywords but on your browsing history. Anyway let's get back on topic shall we. If you are depressed you are living in the past.

What does that make me? I dont do politics and if i did it would have been Screaming Lord Such, but as Paul Weller said, "buying a loaf of bread is politics".
