Holy bandwidth, Batman! :blink:

I must say though, $20 is an excellent deal for that kind of exposure, folks. Grab them while we still got them! :tup:

[Michael]

Its amazing what you can do in Photoshop.. :lol: (I'm joking)




Nice deal Palmer

Good point

[Palmer]

I'll be considering the advertisers on a case by case basis. If you want to advertise your logo design services, that wouldn't work since it would be competing with what we offer here.

Whooops, I clicked on the Grounds Xchange one, and it popped up with the World Village page... :blink:

[Palmer]

Ok, thanks, I must of put in the wrong link.

Would it be allowed for a templatestore to advertise? This doesnt really qualify as a designers freelance website so it wouldn't pose so much competition to your website.

[Palmer]

Sorry, that would compete too much with Template Outpost. :(

[zing]

Even though the ad would only be placed on design outpost?

[zing]

I recently saw an ad for a similar site being displayed here...

Yes. I don't want to send people to the competition. The other ad you saw was for Flash stuff. Sort of a competitor but not really :) Please don't reply anymore, I'd like to keep the link about Domain Outpost as the latest news.

Thanks :tup:

[Palmer]

Stats and available spots updated. As usual, we keep getting busier and busier as the word gets out. Have your ad seen over 9000 times per month for only $20, go to the following link...

Where'd the banners go? Appears they disappeared.

[imageconstrux]

Hello?

Are banners no longer going to be used here?

[Michael]

I'm PMing you ;)

[Palmer]

Technical difficulties of which I gave no instructions on how to remedy during my absence <_<

[lawnforum2sanke]

I am interested in a sponsorship, Palmer.

[Palmer]

I have an exclusive deal with GroundTradesExchange. Sorry I couldn't sign you up.

Thanks for asking though :)

[hotnuts21]

Palmer, do you have an exclusive deals with web dev firms?

[Palmer]

No, just with landscape forums :)

Exclusive deal?


Okay!

[Palmer]

Yep, Jeff was an integral part of getting us off the ground and a big part of our success. We have an agreement and I am a man of my word. :)

[Palmer]

Just a quick heads up that we are down to 4 banners rotating so now would be a good time to get a lot of banner impressions. $20 a month is very cheap :D

[dmsinger]

Palmer, I'm in - I'll try and get something designed this week to give to you for June. Depending on cost and your other advertisers, I may be interested in a category-exclusive deal. Please email me, thanks :)

[Palmer]

I don't have an "exclusive" category. I do have an agreement with Jeff from GroundTradesXChange that I wouldn't advertise any other sites like his. It was just something we worked out a long time ago.

Here's the page where you sign up and start the monthly subscription. PayPal will automatically deduct $20 each month from your account until you cancel the subscription...
http://www.designoutpost.com/advertise.htm

When you're ready to start rotating your banner, start the subscription and then send me the 468x60 banner.

Thanks :)

I was wondering if you'd be open to anything like this again? I don't think you have anyone advertising what I'd like to do and if you'd be willing to possibly do a non-competitor type of thing.

[Palmer]

Feel free to privately make me an offer I can't refuse :)

As long as I get a cut :D

[hotnuts21]

Im interested to Palmer in having a banner on here, I just have to get my own website finished first.

[Palmer]

Sounds good Paul.
