[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 8 of 43 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Brian H on 13-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | The problem is that virtually ALL amiga companies are stretched thin in terms of money. Hey, even Amiga can't afford to go to non Amiga events. And quite honestly, I don't think that too many Amiga companies would profit enough from banners on other sites.
So what are your options? Well, non related Amiga stuff, where there might be a lower clickthrough rate. I personally use Commission Junction, which makes me about $30 a month for around 6000 page views. The reason why I have a better clickthrough rate is because I am a graphic design resource, which can apply to any platform, so I can choose any computer related banner without a conflict. It's a tight business now for Amiga companies. Hopefully things will pickup with some success of the new Amiga SDK.... |
