RanGen Ad Testing Zone Intro

Here be dragons...

To all you brave souls/poor fools who dare set foot in here, welcome!

Getting straight to the point, I've created this area to test how a few new ad networks perform and what effect they have on user experience and site usability.

TLDR: Please turn off your ad-blocker and see if you can see any ads on the page. If you see them and nothing else happens, great! If you get any popups, or worse, get redirected to a different page, come back here and read the "Trouble with repeated redirects?" section at the end of this post.

Want some details?

RanGen is supported by a few wonderful Patrons (jooooin theeemmm...), but primarily by ad revenue.

When browsing I tend to avoid ads where possible, but I do disable my ad-blocker on certain sites where I wish to give the creators extra support, and/or where the ads aren't too intrusive.
For those of you who have disabled yours on RanGen (or don't use one at all!) I thank and salute you; you are helping RanGen stay afloat!

While the number of visitors is steadily increasing, the revenue from my current ad networks has fallen, so I'm trying out some new ones.

As I mentioned, I don't like intrusive ads, and there's only so many times a visitor can be clotheslined by popups and redirects before they decide to leave.
This test is to see how the ads behave, what effect they have on the site, and whether they're a viable revenue option for RanGen

You are not required to interact with any of the ads at all, but you can if something genuinely interests you; the main purpose of this is just to see how they passively affect your experience.

If you get redirected away from RanGen without clicking anything, and especially if you end up on pages claiming your device has a virus, has been hacked, is locked, or if you see any "!!IMPORTANT! Click here to XYZ!!" type messages, do not click on them! Instead, close the page and try to get back to it following the links again. If you can't get past certain points, come back here and let me know that you got redirected via the contact form below.

And that's it! I'll see what the general response is, and determine whether this ad provider can stay or not.

Thank you again for volunteering; I really appreciate it. 🥰
