Go Banners

If you either have a shop or a go-related business or a go-related site, I think you might be interested in this post.

During the last weeks I've been working on a system to handle banners through the Go community. It was called GoAds and it was something similar to Adsense, though it didn't have any anti-fraud system, so the announcers would be easily tricked and noone would participate after realising the trick.

After talking for a while with potential participants and buyers, it seems like we found a possible solution: create an auction system for a monthly fixed amount. This means that shop-admins will be able to buy banners on the sites they want for a fixed amount each month, while bloggers/webmasters will be earning some money.

For example, if any important website (let's say Godiscussions, as everyone knows it, receives lots of daily visits) offered his bannerspace for a few euros, lots of potential buyers would be interested in bidding for having their ads placed on the top and bottom of that site. This can also be applied to a smaller scale, like when we talk about small bloggers (like me); obviously, we wouldn't receive a big amount of money for showing their ads, as it should be proportional to the quantity of visits and the quality of the posts. However, if you happened to receive a few euros monthly, the site would be able to maintain itself.

Webmaster - What does this mean to you?
If you are tired of Google Adsense showing some strange ads, you can sell some bannerspace for a fixed monthly income and be sure you'll get some Go-related ads. Setting up an Ad is totally free, unless you want to put some special conditions like minimum amounts, highlights on the homepage for your product and such.

Announcer - What does this mean to you?
Finally you'll be showing your banners on Go-related sites. In fact, you'll be able to bid for having banners on the sites you want, not just some randomization like in Google Adsense; here you'll be sure to reach your audience. Obviously, the ones with most visits and content quality will be harder to win, and the price will rise higher, but, as the system is handled by auctions, you are the one to set the price.

The standard payment processor will be paypal. Paying through credit card will be available as soon as we conclude the tests with the SSL certificate, so that security is granted.
