• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Clicking ads?

Does clicking on the ads to follow the links generate any extra revenue for the site, or are advertisers paying by the view on the page alone? I was just surfing some of the banner ads and thought to ask. I think the Google ones do, right?
 
I got my rats from Rodent Pro. I had to refresh the fauna home page about 9 times before their ad showed up so I could help show where I heard of them from.
 
The banner ads running through my FaunaAds.com site are paid by the day. Of course, the advertisers can check their statistics, and I'm sure the more clicks the more likely they are to continue paying for advertising here.

Google ads are pay per click for those advertisers, and sites that provide those advertisements do get a kick back for each click a viewer makes.
 
Thank you, that's exactly the sort of explanation I was hoping for. I used to click the google ads every day for other sites I was on. Don't know how much it helped, but every little bit counts I'm sure.
