Not making a point or anything, but are people really wanting to see their product splashed all over Phil O'Donnell's face?

You see where the "Your advert here" panel is in the banner.

Erm, thats where the advert will go.

Not wanting to be pedantic, but thought that if companies are going to be reading the ITT you'd like to know there is a small error in the document.
It says the homepage lower banner is booked until 14th March 2007, shouldn't it be 2008?

The wee blue bit between McFadden and Gordon looks out of place - maybe shove a wee Lion Rampant in there instead to make it look a wee bit better?

Just a suggestion, mind.

We should have Stevie G just to even it out a bit.

They won't care so long as people visit the sites. If a BNP forum was getting loads of hits then of course someone would sponsor them, you overestimate the compassion showed by most corporations.

How does this site condone bigotry and child abuse?

No mileage whatsoever from advertising on this site,it would have to be verrrrrrry cheap to be worth a punt.

I agree. Who would want to advertise on a site that only attracts 250,000 unique visitors in a single month. It would be madness. The people who visit P&B never buy anything I tell ya !!

Quite right gubby. I should chuck this gaff and move on.

Div, have you ever considered Amazon affiliate links as a source of income? I cleared approx. £330 in 2007 from a site I run and it doesn't get anywhere near as much traffic as P & B. In fact, it costs me £30/year for hosting with a cheap no-frills company.

I'm sure you know how Amazon affiliates work: someone buys a book/dvd/whatever via your site and you get a small commission. It soon mounts up.

Affiliate schemes is an option I have considered and will never say never !

I prefer the idea of sponsorship as it gives us fixed income. I expected hosting costs this year could hit the £2k mark if I moved to yet more powerful hardware which is something I would like to do.

Still - the current box is behaving pretty well at the moment and the Motherwell site we host is leaving to go it alone so that will help.

Worth some thought though - cheers biggrin.gif

They're a bit inconsistent. Some threads have the adverts, but there also seems to be some occasions (like right now when Im replying) where no adverts come up, and there is just a plain blue space.

Yip - I have noticed that - dunno if it is because I am running a mix of text and image ads. Will keep playing. I know it might be quite annoying but if google ads are to be a long term thing I will reduce the size of our banner - or integrate the ads into the banner. Just something I am considering.

I normally click on the banner at the top of the page to refresh and go back to all of the boards. Will that betting odds thing open everytime the banner is clicked now? Just wondering.

All fixed. The sponsor link will now only open when you click on their logo.

Anywhere else in the banner returns you to the forum home cool.gif
