[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 15 of 43 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christian Kemp on 13-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 14 (Falk Lüke): Just to get matters straight, at that time your new offer amounted to less than what the industry average was at. Had I accepted your offer, I would have made less by using targeted banners than untargeted generic banners.
But that was then, and now is now, and the industry average has gone down to a tenth of what it used to be back then.
You might reason that I'm paying now for not adopting to Eternity's requests of lowering the rates, but then there would have been no guarantee whatsoever that Eternity would in fact have stayed a long term sponsor up until now, or that they wouldn't have wanted even lower prices a month later. |
