I am running a pixel ad system on my directory site. Where users can purchase small 20x20 blocks to either place their websites or anything that they want. Whats the best way I can advertise this. ? Is people still interested in these types of ads ?
To be successful in the business you describe you need to first build a time-machine and go back about 2 1/2 years and even then your window of opportunity is quite tiny. Why follow a dead trend years later, do something a little more unique.
jg123 has said it right. Your concept is really outdated. Do something thats in demand. Don't do it though unless you can give it your 100%.
I want to run pixel ads. or a Top List / Awards system for Other directories http://listpapa.com/padpixel.html
take the advice given to you, dont bother with that, can you not place a block or banner ad similar to the google banner etc ?
That is true. Block ads are better. What about a directory award system. Am just trying to bring something new to directories there is so many of them. I rather just cater to other directories. for eg. a top directory award system
If your saying you want to giive an award i dont see that working with your current directory, if it is revenue you are after then This is your call, but i see the answer sitting right in front of you on the home page. 1. remove the poll it is a waste of space, you meed to have confidence in your product with out that. 2. create a new module the same as your featured links but name it [ Ads By: listPapa.com ] this will sit under the featured links which are for the first 100 days yes. So if people are paying you an extra $1 for that they will pay you an extra $1 to appear in your text link ads. you could also add a block ad if you wished, sure you can get it from there. with your ideas for something different you cant just turn on the magic idea cap when you want they happen naturally so try not to force it, let it happen over time.
