Looking for sponsor(s)
I run an official Ultima Online fan site located at - www.uoforums.com
It's recogised by Ea.com as an official fan site for Ultima Online - Listed here - http://town.uo.com/links.html
Basically we're looking to place ad's at the top of the page to help out with server costs
We used to have a sponsor from the UK who paid $20 a month for text links at the bottom of the page, but he pulled out citing a change in the companies advertising program or something
Because it's been more of a personal project/hobby, I never kept any stats, webaliser was never turned on, so the only thing I can offer at present, is the forum stats and stats from Alexa (No idea if it's even accurate?)
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/ma...l=uoforums.com
Average registered forum users who visit in a day, ranged from 100-198
Number of posts a month is....
September 2005 3159
October 2005 1828
November 2005 1911
December 2005 2201
January 2006 1986

We're looking to place banners at the top of the forum, to the right of the main logo
The size would need to be 468x60 and they'd need to be orientated for families (i.e no porn heh)
The banner would show on every page and each advertiser would have a login via phpmyads to track the number of hits/clicks
Either way, if anyone's interested or if someone could recommend a program/site which does advertising, let me know
(Webaliser has been turned on as of today)

Can someone recommend a good price to charge for a banner on my forum?
I've got people asking how much and I don't really know what to charge.

The stats you posted (posts per month vs threads per month) have identical numbers. This either means a mistake, or every thread is just one post long. Can you check that, please and let us know which it is?

Take a look at this for a starting point of what you should charge. I know it is not fool proof but it may give you some idea. Edit - wrong computer I will put the link up in a second. Sorry

OK, here it is http://www.text-link-ads.com/link_calculator.php I know it is for text links and I'm sure everyone will say it is not right but like I said it can give you a ballpark figure.

Sweet, thanks for the link
So with that said, the estimated price for a text link, according to that site at least, is $34 a month
Hmm, so for a banner at the top, should I charge something like $25-$35?
And the more banners I add the lower the price I charge, I seeLast edited by AdamD; 11-28-2006 at 04:04 PM.
