Has anyone any such impressions?

Anyone have experience with Berg's?

All,

The ads are inserted by Google. Totally nothing to do with me or rocktumblinghobby.com

Proboards advertise with Google through a system which is known as "adsense" - thats where they are from. When an ad gets clicked on - I think that google pays the advertiser a couple of cents. You can see the text "Ads by Google" just underneath them - if you follow this link you can get more detailed info on how it works.

Generally speaking - Google are VERY STRINGENT in their vetting of advertisers - and block scam artists and the like from advertising - so thats a fairly good start trustwise.

I have no info on why people cant click on them sometimes (thewiz) - it - unfortunately - is 100% out of my control.

Thewiz - if you like - edit the source code with your browser - save it and fire it over to me and I'll explain what the problem is for you - or at least have a go.

cheers

Andrew.
