An open letter to the owners of PPrUNe regarding advertising
Quite frankly PPRuNe can advertise mustard gas and used panties for all I care. It's my choice .... just like with the McD adverts on TV whether I indulge in the product or not.
I, for one, am perfectly happy with the site as it is - the most authoritative sources on aviation of every type (where else could I exchange views with John Farley or others of his stature ?) and some of the most entertaining bickering on earth (the Concorde thread).
I'm just sorry if I am sometimes a pain to somebody with a hard task and the only reward being a warm feeling inside of a job well done (eh Rob ?)
Keep it up.

The catch-all at login is to prevent some of the cyber-attacks that have overloaded the system and brought the site to its knees in the past.

The owners of the site in California.
They run the servers and back office so we can concentrate on running the site.
That way you get 14 years of service run by working airline pilots instead of cubicle bunnies.

So where is all the money going to?

Aren't the adverts paid per click?
Clicking on an advert will do nothing more than click through to whatever URL is assigned to the image.
PPRuNe's rates aren't even CPM (click per milia) like almost every other website I can think of. You simply pay for the size advert you want and the length of the campaign.
From experience, a one month campaign will get you a ridiculous amount of impressions. The click through rate on PPRuNe is very low, in my limited experience, and the conversion rate is almost non existent. I can only assume that most organizations use this site primarily for branding purposes or to imprint their organizations into the brains of the less mentally endowed in order to encourage the much cherished 'parting of the cash.'
Why is your computer configured to see the adverts? I forgot that there even was advertising on this site.
It really does boil down to a few simple observations -
Why the
does an American media company care if a flight training organization advertises on its website just because a few of its non paying patrons do not like the fto or the training on offer?Why are you not laughing about the fto's advertising money being wasted on you?
Why are you bitching about a service that is free to you?

ps - Prophead, if not obvious, only the info wrt the pay per click was directed at you.
