Advertising & New Teamspeak

http://www.atkcommunity.com/banners/news/general.png

As many of you will have noticed, we now have an advert for PokerListings on our homepage. This goes to show that we are now accepting advertising contracts with companies to help support the community and its expansion. With over 2.2 million hits a month, we are a wise investment for many businesses.

More information can be found on our new advertising and pricing page.

Please do not discuss the pricing in this thread, they are in line with what we should expect for a website of this calibre and popularity. Having said that, over the next few weeks I may make some adjustments if necessary (PM me if you have concerns).

I'm not at liberty to say the exact amount that we get from the advert on the homepage, but I can reveal that it is enough to allow us to get a new Teamspeak server (32 slots) because our DCH one is having difficulties. The details are:

IP: 85.236.100.27:11257
Password: {none, until it is abused}

All of your accounts are non-existent on this server, so you will need to re-register.

Enjoy!!

Dear god. O.o

Those prices.

What can i say:

1.)Thanks for sorting out the Ts problem
2.)Sponsorship is generally a good thing as it lets the site grow
3.)Hey i like poker :D

Good luck with that ;)

Pricing is pretty cheap tbh for the amount of veiws they will get.

totally agree with ez, but still, nice idea :)

Haha, those ones are funny. Actually, I think I've already seen a few of them here (but not that exact one)!

Exactly what I said last week when I saw them :S

Well, if people are willing to pay...

True true. I personally wouldn't, but others may.

Funny how everyone just ignored that part...

Advertising is rarely ever carried out by an individual, but usually by a business that is willing to spend significant amounts to get their product out there.

When I inquired about advertising on a professional forum, they said with out statistics that we could easily reach £200/month per advert. I though that was a little steep, so lowered the prices accordingly. Also:

Your site is here, doing 17,139 unique visitors a month
You could charge $100 / week for a text ad
Your site ranks #28 out of 37

From http://www.makeyougohmm.com/scripts/fmcompare.php. Remember though, that is a TEXT ad PER WEEK!

But no, we aren't getting anywhere near that much for the casino listings site since it is just on one page. You've got to start somewhere ;).

It's also in $.

Yes...so $400/month is about £280/month. I thought you could work that one out :rolleyes:.

It's Saturday, the maths part of my brain is asleep.

Had a spam bot on a few days ago when DP, DE and I were playing Shockwave, I couldn't alt-tab to ban the twats as it would crash Shockwave.
