For those that are interested, there is a new Piston site that went up last night.

www.PistonTalk.com

When the Pistons faced the Spurs in the Finals in June 2005, many fans went to SpursTalk.com to see what the enemy was thinking. Those that did soon found that it was definetly one of the better basketball forums out there, with lots of traffic and solid takes on Bball. 14 months after those Finals, there are still over 20 Piston fans that post over there with regualrity, and another 20 or so that just pop in every now and then.

Due to the large number of Piston fans and their participation, they decided to open a individual Piston portion on their forum, and a seperate home / Blog site.

For those that love talking basketball, and have not ever visitied, I'd recommend you stop by. The great thing is that there is consistently 100-400 people on there at all times ... and that's during the offseason.

Simply put, they get traffic. There is always something hapening. I know whenever I visit here at the official Piston forums, I'm suprised and dissapointed that there is one new topic like every 3 days. There is just not enough action.

If you get a chance, stop by and take a look. Hopefully some of you will add to the community.

Been a member for a few months now. SpursTalk in probably the best NBA/Forum I've been on. This place sucks in the summer. I go on ST at 4am and there's 100+ members on and then I come here and I'm the only one.

I'm thrilled that Kori opened up a seperate forum for the Pistons, SpursTalk is fantastic - freedom of speech, great traffic, intelligent posters, lack of trolls, fans from around the league, and adult users (no "Rip izz mah man, i <3 him like sooo much" crap). Hopefully the Pistons forum can take off in the same way the Spurs one has.

[whottt]

As an original seconder of a Pistons forum I would also like to second a Kingsfan forum...

Not because they are as good of fans as the Pistons fans...but because their forums univerally suck more than the forums of any other team I have troll er visited.

Seriously...I feel sorry for them, their forums absolutely suck. JMO.

[Kori Ellis]

Just joking about how there's been T-shirt talk for a long time. Nothing meant by it.

Actually when it was talked about in the past over and over, I said repeatedly I wasn't doing it because I wasn't willing to shoo out the money upfront or do the shipping.

In May of this year, we found a solution for all that but since the Spurs didn't cooperate and lost, I figured it was best not to sell them at that time.

Ad Clicks Add Up to Real Money

Web Site Required, Not Much Work

By Yuki Noguchi
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, July 28, 2006; A01

For hundreds of thousands of people, the dream of making an Internet fortune works like this: Earn pennies at a time in exchange for allowing Yahoo Inc. to place advertisements on a personal or small-business Web page.

Take Andrew Leyden, former House Commerce Committee counsel and founder of a dot-com venture that failed, who started PodcastDirectory.com, a search engine for podcasts. As the site's popularity rose from a hundred hits a month in 2004 to nearly a million now, Leyden started making the equivalent of an entry-level government worker's salary -- $30,000 to $40,000 a year -- simply because people clicked on ads. That allowed him to work at home in Chesapeake Beach, Md., trying to make more money by attracting still more traffic to his site.

"I went from literally 26 cents a week or something like that to several dollars an hour," he said, by using Google's AdSense software, which solicits bids from marketers who, in turn, pay to run ads on his site. "I get paid while mowing the lawn. I get paid while cleaning the garage. I get paid driving my wife to her office, buying groceries, seeing a movie, playing video games, or just surfing the Internet. That's really the nice thing about AdSense: No matter what I'm doing, people keep clicking and I keep getting paid."

A decade ago, the Internet dream was to score through venture-capital financing and by raising cash in public stock offerings. Now, people with creative ideas can get rich relatively quickly by permitting advertisers to piggyback on any Web site that attracts a lot of viewers. Technology can direct ads to more and more specific audiences, rewarding entrepreneurship on the smallest scale -- even Web pages filled with obscure and homemade content.

"We have a segment of customers called 'hopeful hobbyists'" who have Web sites devoted to anything they might care about, from crochet to sailing, and who hope to eventually make enough money to quit their day jobs, said Willan Johnson, vice president of Yahoo Publisher Network, which launched a test version of its software last year.

David Miles Jr. and Kato Leonard, two 20-year-olds in Louisville, say they collect $100,000 a month from their year-old site, Freeweblayouts.net, which gives away designs that people can use on MySpace social-networking pages. One couple blogged about their home reconstruction and made money to help pay the mortgage on their new house. Jock Friedly's business, Storming Media LLC, allows users to download public documents; he used the money his Web site made on ads for new online ventures.

Companies like Google, in turn, also find profit in such sites. In the second quarter, Google got $997 million, or 41 percent of its revenue, through the network of Web sites that host ads through the AdSense system. Its software, like Yahoo's, prices ads based on popularity. When users click the ads, the software keeps detailed records, including the number of page views and the amount of commission the site's host earns from the ad -- all of which Web site owners can keep track of by logging on to their accounts. Every month, Google pays publishers by check or direct deposit.

Ad publishers must be approved through Google, to ensure that the ads don't subsidize pornography or gambling, or contain material that is racist, violent or related to illegal drugs. Among other things, Google says, it monitors to make sure people don't inflate their revenues by clicking on their own ads -- a practice known as "click fraud" that has plagued online marketing.

The popularity of making money this way also has led to creation of "made-for-AdSense" Web pages that contain little content and lots of ads, which critics say clutter the Internet and divert online searches.

The system depends on the cooperation of advertisers, who have to see that their money is well spent, said Jennifer Slegg, an online publisher who is a consultant on AdSense and Yahoo Publisher Network, and who makes roughly half her income from AdSense ads.

"I hear tons of stories about people who were facing bankruptcy but now are able to pay off their houses in full," she said.

The biggest moneymakers tend to be people who started sites to document their passions. Matther Daimler, 28, developed an obsession with finding the most comfortable seats on the long airline flights he took for business. He would look at a better-situated traveler and think: "He has more legroom. I want that seat next time."

In 2001 he took to cataloguing on his SeatGuru site all the seats on his usual United Airlines flight, rating them for best legroom, the most recline, access to video and audio entertainment and proximity to different types of laptop power sources. Soon, at the request of people who read his site, he started taking information on other flights. He now keeps track of seats on 34 airlines.

Daimler and his wife now work full time on SeatGuru, which gets 700,000 visitors a month. About half of the site's revenue comes through AdSense -- $10,000 to $20,000 a month -- and the rest comes from ad deals that Daimler makes with companies directly.

Tracking clicks and the money they earn itself has become a passion for Leyden. "In the middle of the night I'll wonder how much I made," he said, so he'll check his page's status every 15 minutes

The money that comes in acts like microfinancing for many sites, said Kim Malone, director of AdSense. "We're enabling creativity, 5 cents at a time."

Friedly, for example, started his company in Washington in 2001 to make it easier for contractors, scientists and researchers to find, download and purchase public documents. He reluctantly signed up to put ads on the site. "I was skeptical because when you sell something, you want to focus on the product, not refer people to other Web sites," he said.

But with more than 10,000 hits a day, the income started adding up. "I was surprised by how much we made. It was an excellent supplement to the business, because we didn't have to do a lot."

Friedly has since started PatentStorm LLC, a site where businesses can search patent records, without outside investment. "In essence, Google has turned into a venture capital or an angel investor in my business."

But if Google giveth, it also taketh away, Friedly said. As people put up more sites that compete with his for traffic, the number of hits on his main site has declined.

I wonder if atxrocker knew that the troll that punked him wasn't actually Kori.

[Cry Havoc]

And why is that troll not banned yet?

Impersonating an admin is a serious no-no in every forum I've been a part of. It's just not done.

[Hemotivo]

Melo was obviously out of line. I didn't know how to deal with it I admit. Maybe lack of experience came to play. Kori Ellis at spurstalk is the admin I admire most. I'll probably learn how she deals with these things. She usually avoids conflict which is against my nature as I seek it a lot. Oh well I guess I'm not cut out to be a mod.

I'm only go to boards where the admins are pretty much 'hands off' and don't step in only if necessary AND can take a moderate level of shit from members. I've been following the Titans since VY went there and their admins are a menace. I was finally banned for 'disrespecting' one of them and it was over nothing. Of course, that is an 'official' Titans forum so I suppose that makes a difference. Those boards always suck, imho. That's why I always like this place and the ESPN forums where just about anything goes. Some of the race threads over there are CLASSIC. Waay funny stuff.

Spurstalk.com is the best talk site about an NBA team, for the same reason that www.RonPaul2008.com gets the most web traffic for any presidential candidate; both are underestimated by the mainstream media.

[Brutalis]

Kori only made that forum so they'd have a reason to be on the internet. ;)

[polandprzem]

ST sucks from the very begining.
I'm here to put the site on medicore level. without me it would be closed long time ago.

What an ugly segue into a shameless plug for an insane candidate.

The ST ones? They're comfy :)

[Rack The Trolls!]

What about my Manu flip flops I ordered off eBay?

[tlongII]

Without a doubt the greatest basketball forum on the www. It's just too bad it supports the wrong team.

[LakerLanny]

If we used a company like google adsense, we would have to eliminate all profanity from the forum, as well as any topics of an adult nature, etc.

I'd rather just make money in other ways.

Fuck that, run the ads! :p:

[homer]

The design is made. The shirts will be available before next season begins.

sell to the world. put them on ebay and take Paypal. I'll take a 2xxlarge.

Kissing my ass won't make it happen faster. :lol

So, if I kiss your ass, I won't finallt get my (well deserved I must say) Spur ?

[thispego]

why do you need a spur?

[Brutalis]

I'm not sure but I think the Spur is given to members who have been around a while. Like if you put your cursor over their user name, you'll see a number. Like thispego is 193 meaning, he was the 193rd member. But I only assume.

[lefty]

why do you need a spur?

'Cause it looks cool

[urunobili]

'Cause it looks cool

it sort of gives you some status and respect from the users as well... (i guess)

No it doesn't. Your posts do.

That makes sense.

Thanks :tu

All I see is such and such is an original member of Spurstalk.

What is this 193 business you speak of?

Let me dumb it down for you. ;)

http://spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=954

^ That is your member profile. You see the 954? That means you were the 954th registered member at SpursTalk. When you put your cursor over a user name, look at the bottom of your browser, the web address of the link appears. Or just click the user name, and select view profile. Then look at your browser's address and it shows up there as well but the other way is quicker.

Put your mouse cursor over the poster's username. Look in the bottom left of your screen and you will see a string ending in ...php?u=xxxxx, where xxxxx is a number that appears to indicate when you joined.

For example, when I cursor over Brutalis, I get ...member.php?u=1554, meaning he was the 1554th user to join. I believe this is correct, but I could be wrong.

EDIT: Brutalis beat me to it.

[lefty]

Wow
I'm the 6896th registered member

[urunobili]

No it doesn't. Your posts do.

i thought they were also awards for especial contributions (great posts/threads) and wining vbookie tournaments etc...

Put your curser over any spur or trophy (or sheep or snowflake or can of spam or beating heart) and it will tell you what it's for.

Original members of ST have spurs. Trophies are for fantasy championships and the like. There are other assorted things that Kori has done. It's fun to read what they're for.

[angelbelow]

sweet.

[wisnub]

The night your spurs lose to my team? you may feel a slight sting.

Dont worry...it will never happen

[Duncanoypi]

This thread was bumped. Kori's post about the shirts was from 8-21-2006.
There were ST shirts, but I don't think they're still available.
