First of all im sleepy and have a headache so forgive me if this idea isn't that great. Well we have all seen avatars being used to promote directories, either your own or someone elses, but im curious if anyone does or has thought of doing the following. Offering to place a directory ad avatar on details pages, not to replace the thumbnail that may already exist on a detail page and not a banner but literally just the avatar, along with the rest of the info already on the details page. Also not to sell the space but to allow it to help promotion and branding for the listed site. Only if the avatar is the site name/network of course, not your funny looking avatar of faces etc.
its already been done on forplex by pete http://www.forplex.com/detail/link-2346.html I got my ad on ym detail page
Don't see the point of avatar, if there is a banner in place? http://www.directorydream.com/Directories/Alive-Web-Directory-475.html
mikey1090, looks good, i hadn't noticed that at forplex Velocity, your right, if a banner is already in place its not neccessary, especially that banner size.
