I wonder if Toms makes money off the two clowns above with their ads LOL!

Tom's : going to dominate the article commenting sector with its new ad-based business model.

As for Android, I'm not surprised that its profitable. It's long passed it's critical user volume.

2 things :

1) ads . is there really a point of doing these stupid ads ? better question would be : is there such a thing as a tom's reader that's stupid enough to actually click on these links ?

2) google's on a roll to world domination . nuff said .

 

[Spirograph]

Adblock Plus, ftw. I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

 

[tsnorquist]

Seriously, how hard is it to put in some deterrents for these spammers.

same thing can be said for ads on the TV, does anyone sees an ad on the TV and say "i gotta have that". some are, but more are saying "stfu and get back to my show!".

Does Google they charge for support? That's typically how most distros make their money. They might also develop proprietary drivers.

ads are how i find out when games come out, or other various things without immersing myself in the worlds completely.

if you are thinking infomercial like commercials, like shamwow, slapchop, or nuwave, than yea, those are designing for impulse buyers.

1 mil? wow..

 

[gti88]

I wonder, if there's an AD-blocker for Android.

 

[Griffolion]

I barely ever notice the Ads.

 

[eddieroolz]

Well, that was obvious. If it wasn't profitable it would've been canned already.

ads are there to keep things free for the end user. without this sort of revenue you will be paying for it out of your own pocket. pick your poison.

about adblock: if everyone did this, the website couldnt rely on this business model anymore. I realize how annoying ads are but you're just kicking yourself in the rear you know.

My favorite ad blocker - the hunk of neurons between my ears... Brain FTW!

not completely true. the advertising charges are covered by manufacturers by increasing the price of the product they've advertised. thus indirectly we pay for the ad.

its not like we would buy all that, that is advertised. but still, the charges are transferred..
