Hi everyone, In the market maybe for a category sponsorship mod. As you can see I already have category banner sponsorship. What I'm looking for maybe is underneath the banner a place saying "Sponsored by: where I can list 1-3 links. For instance in my Finance category , someone who does forex trading may want to sponsor it. Obviously it's cheaper than a banner and some may want to. I'd be interested in 1 sponsor probably. Anyways anything like this out there?
Don't you already have that in http://www.webndex.com/Arts/Crafts/ Below banner you have 'Featured' same thing isn't it? Or do you mean the ability to submit to multi levels within categories like the phpLynx script. In the example linked you can see Gold Silver or Bronze, call em what you like, they go under the banner but above the standard listings. It's a great feature and allows for exactly what you want. I know you probably use another script but pointing you to the feature and the fact it can and has been done already is all.
What a guy you are!! lol can't go one post without refering to your precious PHPLynx. Yeah I'm going to email Michael. WebnDex.com is a great directory but unfortunately it's not mine. He's just a good friend whom is in my sig. However thank you for pointing that out as it is exactly what yours truly is looking for. It's ridiculous how many ways you can add value to the web community through a directory besides basic reviews and submissions. Back to the Blogosphere, Rob
You are using phpld. So why don't you find specific mod for that? You can find it on my website with detailed description: http://www.linkforever.net/categs_mod.php And here you have full mods list: http://www.linkforever.net/pld_mods.php Always you can ask for custom code as I made really different solutions for individual clients as far. Thanks.
We're currently using darge's category sponsorship mod @ Link Book Web Directory; pleased with all aspects of the mod including admin interface. We're only using the text link sponsorship and not the banners for now. Once the spots are sold, the sponsorship link no longer appears; like in the Niche Directories category. The Travel category doesn't have any sponsors yet and you can see the sponsorship link and message there.
We are also using the category sponsorship mod on http://www.zendir.net We are using only the text link sponsorship and not the banners for now.
I think the textlink ads are more effective for your average advertisers. Most I've dealt with don't have banners. It's not one of the first things you make / buy when doing a campaign although it probably should be.
Do you love it Dubz! Checkin out my posts I kinda disagree with you though, I only ever post about the great built in features of phpLynx when they are relevant to the post, I make an absolute point not to spam advertise so I can't get beaten up by other script lovers who could be accused of the same. I think you can safely check my posts out to see that Anyways dubz, no big deal me promoting the phpLynx script is it, there's far more pushing the phpld one here than any other script and to me that's just fine as its each to his/her own.
I can deal with hard times dubz, getting quite used to it and I got skin like a rhino. Seriously, I wasn't necessarily plugging phpLynx there I was just trying to point out that this can and has been done before. Although I'm never one to miss an opportunity to have a go at promoting my favourtites.
