Cyberspace » Paid advertising (suggestions?)

CYBORG T-REX CYBORG T-REX Apr 22, 2009 #
To further increase the traffic/visits to binaerpilot.no, I was thinking along the lines of paid advertising. A friend/colleague of mine started a tutorial-site a few months back. He's selling adverts on buysellads.com. I was thinking of maybe buying the last remaining ad-place, for a year or half. Either I pay it for myself, or we do it together or somethin'.

Then again, if I/we were to buy some ad-place, a banner would be required. The ones that are currently at binaerpilot.no are too wide to use on the tutorial-page (req.: 300x100 px).

You could also suggest other pages where a paid advertisement would be ideal for Binärpilot. Just a way of getting even more visitors, since I'm lazy and at work. Thoughts?

Definitely seeing the worth of contextual banner campaigns. Pretty site is pretty. How much is it? I could set up a fundraiser. In the very least I will make banners to meet the requirements. Great initiative!

He adjusted it to $15/mo. right after I wrote this post (it was $10/mo. before). Was thinking of having a banner there for when your Norland-album is released (it's this year, right?).

Maybe with some text, like, "These tutorials are free. So is Binärpilot's music." or something.

Half a year is $90. Shouldn't be hard to fundraise that, eh? I believe the site gets alot of impressions each day, and it could help the site (binaerpilot.no) receive even more linkage or mp3-downloads?

Everyone spread the word

Hmm i don't know where exactly you should advertise maybe on hackaday.com or hackedgadgets.com

Done. It may take some time before it's added. Should be the centered one. Awesome ad btw :)

One minute after edit: Aaaaaaaaaand it's up: Tutorial Magazine (direct-ad jump)

Thanks for buying an ad on my site! You'll get 150.000+ views on that ad/month, and hopefully lots of clicks! :)

That is boss, Cyborg T-Rex for president!

You should get him to change ä to "& umlaut ;" though, non-utf8 nub.
Alexander Alexander May 04, 2009 #
Oh hai Jørgen. Impressive site so far, but yes; UTF8, UTF8 *chants*
jorgtron jorgtron May 04, 2009 #
We'll have to get that pesky t-rex to change it in the ad manager, I don't have access :D

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

Will fix when I get access to the site again.

Doh, nice catch Kabel.

Did that, but then again it's not usual to use 
nbsp; or auml;
and such in ALTs or TITLEs, or at least it needs to be pre-formated.

Max is on this forum, and he's using wypromuj.net to generate the traffic for his link (seems to be some kind traffic exchange).

This'll prolly be the last month, if Nordland isn't released. If it is, I'd like to pay for a banner for a month or so...

I've now canceled the advertisment. I'm thinking I'll wait till Nordland is released before I buy any placed ads.

Thanks for the hits! Should make banner campaigns based on the cover-art when it releases.

Please also make a skyscraper (160x600) when you do, so I can link to you from the top-secret videogame related website I am currently developing :)
