Community Central:Advertising on Wikia


 * Please see the Survey below about the new Link Units, which have been added for a trial period.

Wikicities is an advertisement-supported service. Google AdSense advertisements are included on every page. If you have any problems with the display or content of these ads, please report this on Talk:Advertising.

Only official Wikicity advertisements may be shown. No user shall add advertising that has not been approved by Wikia, Inc., the owner of Wikicities. Wikicities takes no responsibility for the content of externally provided advertising.

The content of advertisements may be protected by copyrights, or other proprietary rights and laws, and should not be assumed to be available under the terms of the GFDL.

No user shall remove the advertising, or sponsored search features from the wiki in a way which means other users can not view these.

Any additional advertisements placed by Wikicities will appear in the sidebar, in addition to the Google ads currently displayed on the right hand side of the page.

You can choose for your advertisement to be available on this Central Wikicity, or on any of the wikis in the list of Wikicities (except for the toki pona encyclopedia).

Survey about Link Units


Google have recently introduced a new style of advertisement - a list of 5 links in a small box which takes you to a new page displaying a range of adverts related to the page content. These are called "Link Units".

I have added one of these Link Unit boxes for a trial period only in the left hand column.

Please give your feedback on this, either to the mailing list, or to me, or on Talk:Advertising.


 * 1) Do you prefer the Link Units on the left to the adverts on the right?
 * 2) Do you feel the Link Units are in the right place on the page?
 * 3) Do you want the Link Units to be more separate from the sidebar?
 * 4) Do you see any point to the Google Search box or would you rather it was removed?
 * 5) How would you feel about having the Link Units instead of the Google Search box?
 * 6) How would you feel about having the Link Units on the right instead of the left?
 * 7) If the Link Units were on the right, would you prefer them above or below the normal ads?

Please feel free to give other responses as well, not just answers to these questions.

Thank you. Angela (talk) 19:15, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
