Hey everyone, just thought I'd send this out.......it being the holidays and all.............how about we all take a second and click on those 'Ads by Google' that appear on the right of the screen? QuiQue will be...........let's just say......suprised.........when he sees this, however, I know he gets paid every time someone clicks on them (I'm pretty sure), and he has put SO freakin' much time into this website............why the heck not? It's the HOLIDAYS.....and someone should get that money even if it's not me (or you, other than QuiQue). (Hope this doesn't make the advertisers leave the site!). Feliz Navidad y'all.  Careful

I really appreciate the Christmas clicking Kimberli, thanks for the Holidays cheer! Alex, a personal thanks goes to you for being a part of making ArtMetal a great community. I also want to thank Valerie for giving so much of her metalworking knowledge. The list can go on for a very long reading so I will close by just saying that ALL of you folks involved in this community bring great joy to my life. You allow me to feel that I am able to contribute some of my life to helping others learn more about the wonders of the metal arts! Hoping for a Merry and Happy Holiday Season for Everyone! And let there be Peace on Earth!... for everyones sake... amen... let it be.  Valerie certainly seems to

Valerie certainly seems to have left this place... I do hope she's happy and healthy out there somewhere. |

However, Alex is correct in speaking about click fraud. It does no good to click more than a couple of times in a day. What I would like to mention though is that, if you do find something interesting in the google ads, please do click and check out the advertiser. I've actually found some interesting metal related sites that I will likely use in the future.

Hey Kimberli.
QQ has done sooo much for us. he has no idea how much we appreciate it (or joyfully take it for granted). giving back is a great idea. But I would watch out for clicking on the links in any manner that could be registered as 'click fraud'. I really don't know how it works, but if google suspects click fraud, I believe he can lose all his ads. I am not quite sure about this, but any weird activity registers on the google radar. If I am wrong about this, please let me know.

but that doesn't mean to not click naturally!!!
yeah, I just looked it up. From wikipedia: In online advertising, click fraud involves sending fraudulent clicks to Cost Per Click (CPC) advertisers. The clicks can be artificially generated via automated technology methods (such as hitbots) or via manual clicking for the purpose of debiting CPC advertiser accounts or increasing CPC network partner/affiliate commission revenues. ..
