[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 23 of 43 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Paul Watkins on 14-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 22 (kvince): I agree 100%
ANN is always the first site I go to (after checking my e-mail, of course)
I live in Australia, so it's great to be able to get all the news as it happens, rather than just getting 3 month old news from Amiga magazines.
Besides all that, the site gives us a sense of community. It's worth more to me than any printed magazine, and yes, I would consider contributing to keep the site going.
btw, I never clicked on the banner ads... I just didn't know....... damn, I feel bad about that now :( |
