[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 32 of 43 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Jens Larsson on 15-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 28 (Dundar Unsal): NOOO! We will NOT have ANY banner on boingworld.com. We think banners are disturbing and lowers the quality of the website plus that it takes longer time to load the page. Boingworld.com are economically independant and does not need any banners. We have a different system: The people behind boingworld; the editors, perl programemrs etc. pay $10/year to have a homepage and a mailaccount. The serverspace is free on a friends server so the money goes to the domainname and to things we see fit. I personally don't think $10 per year is much for email and homepage at boingworld.com. I think it's a winning concept. |
