Serge how does that work exactly- charging sponsors to post topics? Does this mean they have to post messages in the main forum?

I think that's a good idea but will everyone else keep their sigs and ads?

Dianna,
I gotta give it some thought...the banner ad market being stagnant for years, we need something new and pulling it off and thinking of all angles does require an effort, we don't wanna have the fate of TGP II "movement"
;-))

the honest answer to your question is:
I dunno
;-)

but here is the thing...
BigCash sent traditional Oprano webmasters mailer and got lukewarm response

I suggested him to post his offer on the board and response was MUCH better

somebody else started the similar thread without my suggestion and got ZERO responces because....Oprano wasn't behind them to promote the thread.

who is behind you does matter

I bought this script that will include text or whatever on a time event. It simply included wherever you added the code.

I think that it would be worth it for Oprano to hire someone to write effective copy, which IS an art, to help promote sponsors. Each sponsor submits monthly a selection of news copy then your copy writer/creative makes it more clickable. You have a monthly deadline and add all the text, you already have the code in place & let it roll!

The things that interest me are special promotions and let's face it; it's a very competitive market. When I see something related to my need I’ll check it out. To be honest with you I’m more likely to click people’s sig’s more then anything else, especially if I think that poster is interesting.

If you have staff that posted more often, interesting topics and included sponsor tag lines in your messages, that would also work. That’s sorta what I see you doing and I have clicked the links in your messages before.

My two cents.

so far...40% of GFY and 40% of Oprano NEVER clicks on new banners

interesting

i would think that although clicks percentages are low on the Net, there is still huge brand building and awareness new advertisers are getting regardless of the clicks. It takes time and getting in front of your community of serious industry webmasters is just as good a metric to use as clicks to evaluate ROI IMHO.

I bet you one can make better awarness in 10 posts all over the net than just a stale button/banner

That is very true about brand, however isn't this why a lot of webmasters post on boards often? Getting your name out there is the key.

Lady Law gave me this advice a while ago. I was on the web in the very beginning but didn't spend time on any boards or networking. Once I started getting my name out there business picked up quite a bit.
