Google AdsGoogle AdsPosted Sep 29, 2005 3:04 UTC (Thu) by felixfix (subscriber, #242)In reply to: Google Ads by corbet Parent article: An LWN status update
Google ads don't show unless javascript is enabled. I don't see ads on several other sites that would be useful for that reason.
As for other ideas, I personally would have no problem with a higher subscription fee.
About my only complaint about LWN is that cookies expire every month even for a one year subscription, and it always annoys me when that happens.

Cookie expiration Posted Sep 29, 2005 3:07 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Fixing the cookie thing has been on the list for a while. I don't want to put in a far-future expiration for various reasons, but occasionally updating it would have the same effect for regular readers. Fairly easy to do, just needs a bit of hacking time...
Google Ads Posted Sep 29, 2005 4:10 UTC (Thu) by kirkengaard (subscriber, #15022) [Link] Google ads also don't show if, for example, you use AdBlock in Firefox to block Google ads universally. I'm sorry, Jon. :/ I just find them to be useless to me because I keep no Google cookies, and they guess so wrong on content relation much of the time. But I do plan on upping my subscriber amount. I love the content; it's my homepage. Practically anytime I bring up a GUI, I read LWN. :)
Thank you!
Google Ads Posted Oct 5, 2005 11:43 UTC (Wed) by skx (subscriber, #14652) [Link] My understanding is that the adverts that google shows are unrelated to the cookies *you* might have.
Instead they are based upon the page contents, as spidered by Google.
