My tiny suggestions to 000webhost are 2

KTFO187 · 05:20 PM

Hey gang
KTFO187 here and I would like to take this opportunity to chime in and give 2 suggestions to admin/owner/staff.

Both have to do with link to host.

1.- I recieved an email saying that using a link back to free host was appreciated but...

This does not point to the correct URL to the codes, I had the stuff saved on a text file because I knew I was going to use them eventually but in the email, there is no URL and I could not find the info by clicking on the link supplied in email. Like I said, I saw this URL stuff when I first registered and I figured I would save it on a text file for future use but dont ask me now where I found it on your site.

2.- Most IMAGE and ad blockers have the size 120 x 60 blocked and that is the exact size of one of your buttons.

As you can see image above, my firewall blocks all images 120 x 60
So I am sure other image blockers do the same, so... If you guys make the image 1 pixel off I am sure you can better defeat the image blockers
Just my thoughts on the matter.

Thank you for your time.

I highly disagree with fact 1, I just re-checked my welcome e-mail and the link infact did work.

I do not see how "http://www.000webhost.com/" would not work, I mean, that's the website address.

Now a defense on part 2.

Most ad blockers do not block 120x60, they block popup-ads, and 000webhost, has never installed a popup ad on anybody's website, not even there own. So therefore, it cannot be true. Also, in 95% of the time, most people on average DO NOT have advertisement blockers for just text/image ads.

Well, there you go.

1.- CAN YOU SHOW ME WHERE
http://www.000webhost.com/
on that page do you see these?

<a href="http://www.000webhost.com/" target="_blank">http://www.000webhost.com/</a>

<a href="http://www.000webhost.com/" target="_blank">Free Web Hosting</a>

<a href="http://www.000webhost.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.000webhost.com/images/120x60_powered.gif" alt="Free website hosting" width="120" height="60" border="0" /></a>

As these are the codes that are needed to place our FREE hosting ads on our site.

2.- I use outpost and Outpost is a very and I do mean very popular firewall maybe one of the top 3 most famous firewalls on the market since God knows when and out post does come with AD BLOCKING by image size so making the image a tad smaller or larger would help. I am using the free ad button on my site. I never said anything about being forced to do it, I never said anything about pop ups.
Peace.

PS. I did a google and there are a lot of programs that target ads based on their site just as Outpost image blocker does and if you notice, most ads and banners have a specific size which people have been using for years and you can google that too.

Well, you could always alter the image a bit yourself to bypass it, for the most part I don't think what you are saying is much of a problem overall tho. Judging by the number of members here, I don't think that what you are saying is stopping too many people from visiting. Don't take that the wrong way please.

I still dont see any of that information on the page they claim it should be on.

So English is not your native language, just what I thought

No worries my friend. But I am glad to see a Frenchmen claim he speaks English becuase in France, no one speaks English, at least so they say

Vazzer · 06-02-2009, 04:19 AM

I am totally lost and confused, I guess you're right? 000webhost must have made mistake.

Yes I speak English, of course, I hear it every day in Reston Virginia. I left France when I was the age of 12. I'm now 16 and live in Reston virginia, heh Ive had time ( 3 years to be exact ) to adapt to the English culture and languages.

I know French well too but I do somewhat consider ENGLISH my first language anymore.
