Title: Advertising slot Printcoins.com
Post by: PrintCoins on January 09, 2012, 07:22:32 PM
This is for advertising on printcoins.com. The two top bids on this auction will each show up 50% of the views on the site for 6 months. This will be done using a server side random function create an image wrapped in an href tag. You can specify also the alt tag as well to help with SEO.

The image will be 728x90 and be placed at the bottom of the page. You can host the image (or I can). You can also email me whenever you want to change the link, and I can update it in 2 business days. Changing it more than once a month would not be appreciated though.

The image will not be flash, and should not be offensive (PM me to ask. I am cool with most things, but would rather not have porn on my site), and should not be annoying (for example, an animated gif that causes seizures). The image of the ad should be representative of what it is linking to (don't surprise users with something unexpected).

Post your bids in this thread. Bids are in USD but are to be paid in bitcoins.  Bidding starts at 1USD and is made in increments of at least 1USD. Both bidders only need to pay the second highest bid amount. So if person A bids 10, and person B bids 15, they both only pay $10.

If any valid bids occur less than 60 minutes before the auction end time, then the auction will be extended by 60 minutes. If any valid bids occur less than 60 minutes before the new end time, then the auction will be extended again, etc. The time will continue extending until bids stop coming in.

The auction ends on January 21 2012 16:00 GMT+0000

At current BTC price of $6.21, I sent 1.12721417 for $7.00.

Thanks, please send me:

* The url for the image
* The url that you would like to point to
* The alt text for the image

Deslok, since this was for two ad slots, you can do the same, and just send the same amount of bitcoins to my sig. I will set you both up for a 50% display frequency for the next 6 months.

Did you already send it? I am not seeing the credit:

Did you add on a miner fee? I like to put in at least 0.0005 just to make sure it goes through.

Both are now up on the site. For simplicity I am considering today the first day of the running, and both will go August 1st, 2012. If I remember, I will probably have an auction again at that point.
