Thanks for the reply, I was afraid of that. Back to the drawing board I guess.

I'll try keep it short.

It's been done. When the first website or two did this, it got a bit of attention.
Now a days, anyone who tries to do it again, just kind gets ignored.
If you got no content or reason for people to visit it (that doesn't directly related back to advertising).
Why would people want to advertise on this website? There is not value to it, other than to the owner who hopes it does.

I have three weeks until my holidays are over and I've been wanting to give something back to the Bitcoin community for a long time now. I guess I'll tell you a bit about the idea that I had, then you can tell me what you think. If you think it's stupid, tell me. If you think I could change something to make it succeed, tell me. If you want something else entirely, tell me and I'll consider it.

My idea is basically a King of the Hill style advertising game whereby players will try and outbid other players to get their advertisement higher on the homepage. There will be about 10 or so ads on the homepage, and possibly an option to show ads that fall below this tier. The advertisements will possibly require a special deal or coupon or something to entice visitors and be Bitcoin related. An ad's points will slowly "bleed", causing them to lose their current position. This will make it easier for people to get their ad on top if someone comes in with a large bid.

Of course, visitor stats (including number of clicks on the ad) will be made public so the advertiser can determine whether or not the ad space is worth it. However, I envisage this being a cheap (and fun?) way to advertise for people that are currently looking for ways to show off current offers that they have going.

What do you guys think? Have I missed a service that does something like this already? If I get a lot of negative feedback on this thread, I'll know that I'm probably going to be wasting my time and won't bother developing it.
