[Motd] Advertisers needed | ANN.lu |
Posted on 14-Jan-2001 13:22 GMT by Christian Kemp | 43 comments View flat View list |
In a recent MOTD, I stated that the advertiser situation was bad, but I didn't expect to make less than 5$ in 13 days. So I decided to pull the only remaining advertisement banner, but I am hoping to find an alternative means of at least covering my online cost (various virtual servers, phone bill, etc.). I haven't given up the hope that Amiga companies (Amiga, Haage&Partner, and many others) will finally understand that the market would be even less alive without Amiga news sites, and finally decide to make suitable contributions to the news sites they've been using for years to post their press releases and announce their products on.
Do I sound slightly bitter? Perhaps. But with a phone bill of 100$ every month, an upcoming domain renewal for 90€, a website generating 5$ out of over 50,000 pageviews is just ridiculous...

Advertisers needed : Comment 10 of 43 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ian on 13-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | Sorry if this is naiive, I don't know anything about online ads.
Can you get money for simply displaying an ad? Or does someone
actually have to click it? How many times to make anything worth
having?
If you have to click it, there are so many sites whos ads dont work
with some Amiga browsers because they need some unsupported
javascript, do bad browser version checks, handle cookies weirdly,
etc. Maybe if the link loaded quickly and cleanly with Amiga software
you'd get more hits? |
