Banner ads are not making anyone but the big guys money. With simple tools like junkbuster, or even mozilla's "don't accept images from anything but the originating server" you can filter all that crap out. It's Y cents for X hits. Like 1 cent for every 100,000 hits. Yes, it's large numbers like that. OR It's Y cents for X click-throughs. Like 2 cents for every click through. OR You have percentage base of a sale from a click through on your site. Like 0.05% on a sale from a banner on your site. The last one is where you make some money, but how many people will see your website, click the banner ad and BUY something? Anyways, I know most about the last one, ala Amazon and Commission Junction. Amy did the initial design and work on Commission Junction, so we can give all sort of sorted details. Well, I think we can, I'll have to check the contract and NDA crap. :-P -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
