Fixed an annoying problem
First off I just want to say that I've changed the type of videos that are displayed on here. Let me know if you would like to see something different. Unfortunately it needs to be something that doesn't require a 2257 (i.e. publisher of explicit content) certificate, kiddie porn (fucking sinners), or anything else that is obviously not considered legal or tasteful. Now, on to the post.
Being the owner of this site, I strive to make it something that I, myself, would want to return to at least occasionally. One problem I found while perusing this page myself was that I would find a video I liked but had no way of finding more information out about it. I temporarily fixed that by adding a link above the video that will take you directly to the serving page. This only makes good sense anyway since that is only fair to the site I pull the links from.
My plan for the future is to add the title of the video somewhere around the video area. The link to the page serving the video will permanently remain, but I'm going to add some code to make it so when you click on that link that there's still a way, at the top of the page, to come back to SuckitTube when you're done viewing the video page. Sure, I'm an advertising revenue whore at this stage of the website, but even you have to admit that sending people away from your web page makes far less sense than giving them an easy way to come back again :)
I'm still spending WAY more on advertising than I'm making on ads, but I'm finding what times work best for serving the ads and what the optimum CPC (cost per click) is. So far I'm finding a lot of features I like on Google Adwords, but they are very restrictive on what things I can say in my ads. There also doesn't seem to be any consistency in their pricing either. I can have a great set of key words for one ad, and duplicate that on another ad but the CPC is triple what it is on the first ad. Maybe it's the wording in the ad that makes the difference - but I'm not sure.
If ANYONE out there knows of a better advertising site than Google then please let me know. I want something that I can set my own price, set the times that the ad runs, and set geographic restrictions - i.e. only run the ads in the US and Canada. I have a nice banner ad for SuckitTube already (see below) and I'm working on one for SansuiZen so being able to serve banner ads would be a nice bonus as well.
