    140x350 banner

    Website to be promoted: arcade fi

    Texts you can use:

    Ilmaiset nettipelit! (translation for your use: free online games
    Pelaa ilmaisia nettipelejä! (translation for your use: play free online games)

    Some design suggestions:

    Use thumbs of popular games
    same color scheme as the site's


    New here but positive trader ratings at dnforum and namepros. So participate with trust :) Will pick a winner after 72h. Payment via Paypal.

    The name is not the url.

    You are assuming we know whether or not to include the space between words and whether it is a .com, .info, .whatever.

    Give us something to work with here.

    PS: A few more details like, how long before you decide, how long you expect it up, etc.

    It's the url and replace the space with a dot (arcade fi). Don't wanna write it down to avoid SE indexing.
    It reads that I'll pick a winner after 72h.

    How long you expect it up? What do you mean?

    Okay. So the url is - h[double t]p://[nospace]www.arcade[dot]fi ! I can't read the language even though McAfee lists you as originating in Britain. (They did give you a GREEN rating though:))

    I figured if you were going to shell out $20.00 you might be expecting the link to be up for more than three days. ;)

    PS
    I understand this is a contest so you will have ads up where ever someone gets in on it and only one person will ultimately get the cash.

    Looks ok, I'll give you more feedback when you get the dimensions right. It should be width 150px and height 350x, not the other way around.

    PFTH,

    Use a different font. Hard to read now.

    The bottom section with the tagline and some puzzle piece or a rectanle. It doesn't work


    Endurance,

    Make the URL more prominent. Color scheme doesn't match the target website's, could be an issue

    RNHALAWI,

    Not bad at all and first one to put one some animation (not that it is required), get rid of the joystick ripped of from the site logo and it's much better.

    PFTH,

    Still the same font that I don't like for site URL.

    Untitledstudios

    Clean and polished design. Anyway to make the text stand out more? Now it's Mario catching all the attention.

    digitalproducts,

    OK, somehow a bit dull though
