EDIT: - The structure has been amended and spaces are still available - please see this post

I'm rolling out Banner Advertising to members only. The idea is to make it low cost as I'm not looking to monetise the Forums, just cover the hosting and running costs

Here's what I'm thinking:

Button Banner - £15 per month

There will be 3 rotating buttons in the left column with a maximum of 5 ads for each space, so 15 places available



Vertical Banner - £20 per month

One banner in the left column with a maximum of 5 ads for this space




Header Banner - £30 per month

One banner in the header with a maximum of 5 ads for this space




Anyone booking and paying via PayPal within the next week for a 3 month slot will get their advert until the end of July, so an extra few weeks free.

At the end of 3 july we'll review performance and prices.

We have banner tracking traffic stats software installed and ready to go.

The Forum has had 250,000 page views in the last 3 weeks via some 10,000 visits and we are growing steadily.

This forum does not and will not sell links, so these banners will be javascript redirects obviously.

Any thoughts or takers?

Hiya Dotwhack,

Great news!

I've edited my post to include a banner design offer from Pixelcraze

[Calibre Designs]

Hey Ray - This is great news!! Very reasonable prices indeed including the design! wow...

[Carbon Neutral Copy]

Yes please, Ray!

I'm finishing off a re-branding at the moment so am not sure if I'll be ready within the week, but I will book a slot without the special offer if I don't make it in time.

Hi Vicky - I'll hold a slot for you if you like!

Khalid - sterling job for Danielle there - and amazingly fast work

[admagic]

At that price, I will take a vertical ray

No idea which product, or service...and it will be a week before I do.
Happy to pay up in the mean time....

I would like to switch the product at least 2 weekly, to
keep it fresh.....

I might consider a (small ) surcharge if thats a problem.....???

[deviltronics]

See if you can do better than lycos for me.
