Website advertisements?

[yuppicide]

I want to design a website and put up advertisements. Similar to here.. one on top, one on side.

I would rather have the website where people could use the features of my website without registering or logging in.

I'd like them to be able to donate $1 to the website via PayPal and in exchange it'll get rid of advertisements for one month. Maybe if they donate $5 it'll get rid of advertisements 6 months or something like that.

How would I accomplish this best? If I place a cookie on their computer and they clear their cookies from time to time then they'd have paid money for nothing and want a refund or something.

Yuppi, tell me your URL so I make sure to never visit it if you want me to pay for you to not have ads!!!

Use PHP or ASP, but that would most likely mean you would need to create a membership system.

Hey, a lot of sites take donations in order to keep the site running and in exchange they get rid of advertisements.

I want to put up a website with games to play on it, some of the games I have are unique to me. Well, atleast one of them is anyway... meaning I made the game up myself. Just have to get someone to code it in flash.

A membership system DOES seem like the most logical explanation. You could also have a log for IP address's, although this would not work if the user is viewing from a different address. You can keep in mind that the membership could be simple; place a username, a password and perhaps an e-mail verification and that is that.

That is why I like my Ad Block Pro Add-on that I have on FF.

I doubt if the donation system works in the situation you mentioned, but you certainly can create an advanced web portal, having the complete members panels and the details, and the paid members have certain advantages but of course these websites design types can be costly.

Yeah, I'm not interested in a full-blown member system. The simpler the better.
