    Not unless the button will be hosted by the host.



    I think Matt should stick with banners. He can charge $100/M. for a banner or so, and it should generate a steady income. I also agree with the links in signatures. ( $5/m.?? )

    Hope everything will work out.

    I think the banners at the bottom of the page isn't such a bad idea but 20 is perhaps a little excessive.

    It's been said that banners at the bottom of forums perform better because you naturally scroll down as you read and will end at the bottom of the page. This should also be an acceptable compromise for those who find banners at the top a distraction. 'Stop that flashing ad, it's hurting my eyes!'

    Let's just hope we don't end up with a banner in-between each post

    As far as I'm concerned, that'd be much, much worse -- and much more irritating -- than having one banner at the top of the page.

    You know, banner advertising's value is declining for one reason -- people "tune them out;" really don't notice them any more. I think this banner stands out only because we're not used to seeing it. I expect that in a couple of weeks I won't even realize it's there anymore.

    I have no objection to it at all.

    do you realize what's happening?

    tell me if I'm wrong...
    Reading carefully to all the opinions and suggestions...
    all I see is ways to make WHT a webhost information store..

    ehm...
    I have a feeling WHT will never be the same

    and...
    having just a (non web host related) banner on top ... maybe is not that bad after all ......
