> (1) The game features on RinkWorks were never supposed to have pop-up or pop-under ads running on them, for the very reason that they are difficult to play when ad windows are opening. I have checked with my ad settings over at Burst and fixed the problem, although the change could take up to a day or so to take full effect.

About that, because I very much don't understand the workings of these matters...

Do you get money for the ads even if people don't click on them? Do you get more if they are clicked? From the comments you just made, I infer that you get money if they pop up on a particular person's screen, but none if they don't.
