Not sure what it takes, but it took our programmer a few minutes to add it. He's a bit of a vB shark, though. 
To me, running forums is totally different from running a static site. My members are my customers. If they are happy, they will come back for more. Honestly, the members who are going to take the time to go into their UserCP (after they figure out they can do it - it's not exactly plastered everywhere) are the same people who *don't click ads*. They are the people who come to the site multiple times per day - refreshing for new posts, etc. Why bother them with annoying stuff like in-text ads if they aren't even going to respond to them? (We have a techie crowd, so that is part of it too - they are mostly very savvy.)
I am pretty sure that IntelliTXT is the hardest to get into, though I am not sure what the reqs. are (they called us). We have been testing with Kontera for the past few weeks and we are starting a test with IntelliTXT on Monday. They operate a bit differently in that with Kontera, a pageview is counted if a page loads with at least one link replacement. IntelliTXT, on the other hand, requires a mouseover of an ad to be counted as a pageview. But of course, that is offset by the rates the offer - IntelliTXT offered us mid $XX.XX CPM and Kontera offered us mid $X.XX CPM (net to us).
Once we are done testing, I will do a write up on our specfic experiences. |
does intelliTXT. and the like, work well in forums?
