Advertising

Some of you may have noticed that I placed some Google AdWords on the journal and rivalry pages. I was absolutely appalled with the types of ads that were coming through... stacks of Gold Selling and Power Leveling sites. I do not want Path of a Hero to be associated with these types of filth in any way, form or shape.

I attempted to start blocking these sites from the admin interface of my AdWords account. The problem was that it felt like for every site I blocked, another evil site would step up to fill it's place. It felt like a damn scourge invasion. Even the non 'evil' sites were annoying because they were advertising stupid things that I am confident Path of a Hero users would not be interested in.

The longer I left the ads on the page, the dirtier I felt, until it reached a level where I was forced to remove them. The problem that remains is that in order for Path of a Hero to continue to grow and be enjoyed by people, I need some income to cover the infrastructure costs as well as my time and effort (passion and love can't buy bandwidth :P).

Basically what I would like is to advertise some products or services that would actually be of interest to the users of Path of a Hero. The users obviously love World of Warcraft, probably games in general, some like role playing and they are tech-savvy in most cases. If these sort of people sound like your target market, contact me and we may be able to work something out.
