Ads and Banners to cover costs

[dentalpro]

put some google ads here and we can help with server/hosting costs...or some low cost banner ads...just an idea

I'll look into this perhaps in the future when we have a bit more traffic...for now I want to keep things simple so we can iron out all the kinks and get things moving along smoothly for everyone. But thanks for the idea!

Not too many ads though because it is very annoying when they are springing up everywhere!

May i suggest (For when it happens) an advertising system that blitz's non members with ad's yet members dont see them???

Not sure what hosting is per month, but perhaps it is reasonable.

We could start a kitty pot and everyone throw in.

As for banners and such...ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Here we are trying to Mobilize mobi and get the word out.

It anything should appear it should be promos for our own developed site. I'll be happy to contribute time and effort to making mini banners that would rotate when I do have the time.

We have a directory (DIR.mobi) and I think it would be nice to have a visual directory as well.

But for my 2 cents, I say we rotate member's developed sites as mini banners or buttons:

None of these are active sites but used just to give you an idea of the self-promoting we can do.

Don't worry about Ads, guys, they're a long way off. If and when the time comes, I'll get your input again before setting it up.

With all being essentially the same size, the would making a very visually pleasing sidebar. Again, only active sites would rotate. Might even be incentive to get on with the developing.

LOL I just had a thought! If this forum has been designed and formed by the domainers with the top .mobi portfolios in the world, then maybe there's no need for advertising etc!!!

I like your site for self promo. What is that format? Easy to set up?
