Topic: Advertise on this forum - Round 56 (Read 2396 times)

Oh, no problem at all. I'm actually proud this forum is starting to rank in a very considerable amount of sustainability and progression profit.

Any possibility within the future that you'll provide a cheaper, lower-impression-ranking ad service, such as smaller, less available slots?

unfortunately this is the way it goes. BFL (inaba) and BTCFPGA (me) have the funds to pay ridiculous amounts for advertising slots and I will do what it takes to make sure our advertising exposure is at least equal to that of BFL at least in terms of this forum.

All the money goes to support the forum which I happen to think is a very good cause, however as I have stated before I support and would love to see some sort of fair system come into play where each business is only allowed a certain amount of slots and those slots are priced in a way that makes sense for the business that is buying them.

for example I would be happy to pay more for my advertising slots so some Bitcoin startup who has little income could pay less.


I doubt this will ever happen but I am just throwing it out there.

Edit fail. And now I'm spamming. Sorry, and damn you auctions forum!

Makes no sense to bid 21 a slot. Are you serious?

Extended again to when the countdown timer reads 01:30:00. I have to go, so I won't post updates for a while.

In order to collect more money for the creation of good forum software, the forum is selling ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page.

Ads this week will be allowed to contain any non-annoying HTML/CSS style. No images, JavaScript, or animation (no marquee or blinking). Ads must appear 3 or fewer lines tall in my browser. Ads will be prefixed with "Advertisement:". Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page. Ads may be rejected for other reasons.

There are 10 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a one in ten chance of appearing. Eight of the slots are for sale here. Ads appear only on topic pages with more than one post, and only for people using the default theme.

The ad lasts 7 days starting from when I put it up.

Auction rules

Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC per slot. You must state the max number of slots you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all eight slots are filled.

So if someone bids for 8 slots @ 5 BTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all 8 slots. If the two highest bids are 8 slots @ 4 BTC and 1 slot @ 5 BTC, then the first person will get 7 slots and the second person will get 1 slot.

- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.25.
- The bidding starts at 0.5.
- The auction end time is 17:00:00 on October 30, UTC. Countdown. (The end time may be extended -- see below.)
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.
- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity, or if they could not possibly win any slots

If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the auction end time, then the auction will be extended by 30 minutes. If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the new end time, then the auction will be extended again, etc. The time will not extend beyond 6 hours total.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else.
