This.

I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s just a regular Kapowzler.

Good morning to all!  
I hope everyone is well, this fine morning!

Still waiting on the question about the money. Patiently waiting. Politely. (fingers tapping)

I very much doubt that you will ever get a meaningful answer to your money question. First of all, because many posters are members or charter members, and will not see any ads. Second, because the software would have to sort through the viewers who read the posts, and determine which posts/threads had ads that were actually seen. Third, and more importantly, Ed and the Reader have always refused to disclose financial information.

I think that you will never get an answer to your question about revenue increase, no matter how many times you ask or bump a thread.

This statement is not an official one, but I have drawn upon my knowledge of how the board works, and how Ed and the Reader have behaved in the past.

15000 ad impressions here? Probably like an eighth of midi.

While I can’t add technical knowledge beyond what **Lynn Bodoni** said, we’ve had thousands of threads with more views than yours. There’s no way you’re moving the needle here.

You’ll have to excuse me. I hadn’t realized you’d purchased the company. Can I have a raise?

The embedded Google tag that tracks Super Kapowzler-generated revenue isn’t working today, and it probably won’t be working tomorrow, either. However, over the past month the SDMB racked up 6.5 million page views, of which you figure you accounted for what, 15K? So if you’re thinking we should start comping your meals and sending hookers up to your room and shit, you could be waiting a while.

Be careful what you wish for. Ed says he’s ordered a full load of “and shit” your way. You’re welcome.😛

Using Alexa as a guide [thestraightdope.com](http://thestraightdope.com) and its subdomain, [boards.straightdope.com](http://boards.straightdope.com) have not experienced any statistically meaningful change in traffic since you’ve started posting here. Your premise is fatally flawed and you have asked a question that cannot be realistically answered.

Unless you have some other way of corroborating this “sudden swell in activity” and stuff.

You have to demand that he post his picture in the Picture Gallery. I have to know what a Kapowzler looks like.
