I have an idea about them...

Do you ever see one and comment to yourself about it?

Well, think about "views" on youtube, and likes...

What if you clicked on the Tiny Ad and there was a comment section associated with it (hey it could be reviews, too) and it would probably boost the tiny ad somehow?

What got me thinking was that the tiny ad said "Please don't shoot the fish in the barrel, but you can shoot at this Tiny Ad"

If I shot that tiny ad then my computer would be destroyed and I wouldn't be clicking on that Tiny Ad any time soon...so I wanted to make a helpful comment not to do that.

Is something like that too much work and actually just a silly pointless idea that will never happen?

Oh, to be neat it actually it would need to be like a hover-box comment thingy...so you wouldn't have to actually click the Ad to see all the stir about it.

I'm bad about not clicking them, but if I saw an interesting little interactive thing like that w/it I just might :)

I'm not sure about the rest, and how we could even set up the tiny ad saying to be a link. But, I'm pretty sure there's an algorithm to use the most-clicked tiny ad sayings more often. I don't know if this algorithm counts in if people purchased through the link, or just clicked on the link.

BUT, if you like a tiny ad saying, click on it to show Gir Bot (aka the algorithm) that it was a good tiny ad.

I just added 211 new tiny ad silly lines.

Here are two:

This tiny ad's name is Bob. With just one "o".
All the other guys liked the pretty girls, but I always like you, tiny ad

I saw this one today

"Men only want one thing and it's disgusting." Then you should wash it! This tiny ad will help:
