To avoid ads hurting your pageload times, just load it asynchronously. There are many ways to do it.

The word spreading around on the web is that you post fake profile pics of attractive women and men on your site to juice your traffic. That is really fucked up shit!

SpeedDate Scores $6 Million For Matchmaking In A Hurry
13 Commentsby Jason Kincaid on August 28, 2008

Online dating site SpeedDate has raised $6 million in a Series B funding round led by Menlo Ventures. SpeedDate offers users a series of 3 minute mini-dates, during which they can converse through video, audio, and a chat box. If both partners decide they were a good match when prompted at the end of the date, they can continue communicating through the site until they make the jump to real life.

When we first wrote about SpeedDate, the site had a small userbase, which made it difficult to conduct a series of dates (there simply weren’t enough potential matches). Since then the site has grown substantially (claiming 100,000 dates daily), so you can hop on and hope to find a reasonable match within a few minutes.

I decided to put the site to the test once again now that it can reliably serve up a stream of potential prospects. Unlike most dating sites, there was no lengthy signup process – the site leaves the real matchmaking to your video chats. And while SpeedDate seemed to totally ignore the interests and personality traits I entered anyway, the experience was still surprisingly fun. I typically only had to wait a few minutes between each session, and girls I spoke to during my “dates” told me that their general experience on the site had been quite positive.

SpeedDate is a direct competitor to Woome, a similar speed-dating site that offers quick video sessions.

Hey oodlum, obviously you do not operate a website and have no idea of the frustrations of giving free content to readers and they do not reciprocate by just moving their fat fucking lazy hand to click a Google ad sense ad to give them a lousy 5 cents.

FUCK GOOGLE AND FUCK ADSENSE, IT ONLY BENEFITS THOSE NAZI’S @ GOOGLE AND NOT THE ADVERTISERS OR THE PUBLISHERS. FUCK GOOGLE FOR WANTING TO OWN THE INTERNET AND FUCK ALL THE INTERNET USERS WHO CONTINUE TO USE THEM TO FEED THEIR MACHINE!!!

Tim, good luck with an attitude like that. What you are saying is that those “clueless, dumb assholes” should defraud your advertisers with fake clicks, the net result being that said advertisers would drop your site as soon as it became apparent that your junk traffic isn’t converting. Yeah, Google doesn’t get it.

Marcus, do you ever get sick of all those users who never click your Google adsense ads? I know it pisses me off! You would think all those ungrateful assholes would have the manners to click a Google adsense ad each time they use your site as a tip for all your hard work that you and do not charge a penny for. I think is sucks that Google’s TOS does not allow a webmaster to ask its visitors to click an ad. Google just does not get it, most web users are lazy, selfish, dumb assholes, and clueless. Telling your moron loser users to click ads may not equal immediate sales to the advertiser but it will give the company exposure(like Coke and Pepsi).

I HATE GOOGLE!
