Hello,
http://megaming.com is willing to sell a banner spot for the next month for only $75.
The game has only been open to the public for around a week, and already we are recieving just over 100 uniques a day.
The hit count will explode once the battle engine is finished within the next few days.
This is an investment you do not want to miss!
If you would like this banner spot, please contact me.
Proof of stats can be found here: http://megaming.com/stats.gif

I beleive they're expecting A LOT more hits when their "battle engine" is completed which is stated to be in the next few days.
OriaHosting, you seem to be a web host owner yourself and I noticed your banner on your website. Don't you think that you will earn more than $75 (in web hosting sales) by keeping your own banner there? If the answer is yes, then why would you want to sell the banner space?

Because it's not actually my game, that banner is just there temporary.
Believe me, you lot will be eating your words within a week, but thats your choice.

Okay.... Orialhosting, I am producing a game that gets over 3,000 unique a WEEK... and I give away free advertising on an afillicate system.
I think its pretty wrong to charge for something you can easily get for free (word of mouth, or your sister's brothers uncle's half related mom's son who owns a big site)
And about this "Believe me, you lot will be eating your words within a week, but thats your choice."
Is that a threat? :blush: , when and if (hopefully will be), my game is released... I'll be getting a few hundred thou a mouth, would I Charge for people to put banners on my site? HELL NO! Banners = very poor form of advertising... Ask anyone who's tried to advertise through them.
I rant about useless information too much, don't I? :rolleyes:
Edit: Sorry, but I just looked at the site..... and this isn't a flame or anything.... but I swear to god if I see another LoTR or medieval game, I'm gonna scream

Yes, you try telling that to everyone else selling banner advertising on these boards.
If you don't try and sell it, then you are missing out big time.

I honestly..... Do not like selling something you can get for free.... Does it cost me money to put the banner up? No... Does it take more than 30 minutes? No more like 5 seconds... Does it take up much space? No way! So why charge for it!? Give me one logical answer (Besides everyone else wants to show their banner).
I prefer something like "We put your banner up if you put a banner of our site on your site", that way you're getting a LOT more hits, resulting in a LOT more money then what you'd get for selling quick banner space.

What money? This game is a free online game, it is done for free. This banner money ensures the owner gets just a little something after all the hard work he has put in.
