I've gotten another query about running banner ads for this site for sponsors. Quite honestly, I just haven't spent much time even thinking about it.
What do you guys think? Is it going to detract from this site if I start accepting advertising? Do I sound like a jerk even considering turning away paying advertisers?
The more I think about it, maybe having sponsors here would give the site more credibility......
Rich i think it's great idea . The advertising will help pay for upgrades to the site and we will have some Ads to look at.Sometimes they run Group Specials on some cool items .Example on DC i have seen LT headers being discounted if you buy 10 sets or more. The Ads are not pop ups are they?
Rich, I say go for it. You developed the site and it has to be costing you something. I know that you said that you amortized a lot of the start up costs with other sites that you run, but what the hell. If you can make a few bucks, why not.
Just negotiate a good deal. That's a bunch of money for you and discounts for the site members!
Well let me ask you all this. Is there any particular site that uses banner advertising that you especially like? Well maybe "like" is kind of strong. How about as non intrusive as possible? I do some advertising on my other sites, but I'm kind of stuck in a rut using large rotating banners, and thinking maybe I should try something different.
Nearly all of the corvette forums I have been to tend to use rather small static images, usually down one side or the other. So if you can recall seeing something that you thought was really classy looking, please let me know.
What I need to do from my end is to utilize something that won't be just a pain in the butt to manage. I had some banner ad software like that years ago and it about drove me batty. I had to check expiration dates on each and every ad EVERY day, then manually send out nag notices for expiring ads. Sure made sitting in front of the computer WAY too much like work.
Banner advertising?
