Some of you may notice that we run ads by Google AdSense. This is effective today.

Basically, the current AdBrite ads will still run; however, depending on who has the higher eCPC (estimated Cost Per Click) cost, an AdBrite or Google AdSense ad will show up. Both ads are governed by our [[BW:AD|advertising policy]], so if you run across any ads that run afoul of the policy, please contact me.

The point of using both advertising services is to maximize monetizing the Battlestar Wiki so that it is not dependent on donations (although you are welcome to make them!), but rather money is made from how many visits (which we get tons!) we get on a daily basis.

How this works is basically the ad service with the highest priced ad will be the one shown to our visitors, so we get the most money to finance the server.

Also, we are looking into integrating Google’s search into our own to improve search results, and in an effort to point people to other sites in the fan community so as to bolster the Battlestar community being an actual community, and not a bunch of segmented groups.

So say we all!
