Bitcoin Forum

Hello there! Daniel Brown here from You, Me, and BTC (http://youmeandbtc.com/). We produce a variety of crypto-related content including a weekly Bitcoin podcast.

This auction is for one month of sitewide banner space in our sidebar. The ad will be on every single page of our site, 100% of the time. The site gets over 45k pageviews per month. All of our content is Bitcoin-related and we're not a faucet.

The winner of this auction may choose one of the following two banner location options:

1. In our wide sidebar, right above our Twitter feed. Size should be 300w by up to 125h.
2. At the top of our narrow sidebar (right below our social icons). This option is much higher than option #1 and is above the fold for most viewers. Size should be 160w by up to 300h.

The winner may also choose to double the height limit for an extra 50% of the winning bid. I can produce the banner for the winner if I'm given a good idea of how it should look.

Thanks for considering this! Please just ask if you have any questions!

Starting bid: $5
Increments: $5 or more
End time: 3PM ET on Thursday, January 22, 2015 - After this time, the auction will end when the highest bid remains unbeaten for 10 minutes. This means that any bids placed near the end of the auction will extend the time slightly so that other bidders have time to compete.

Additional information:
Bids are denominated in dollars but only Bitcoin payment will be accepted. We'll convert using the Bitcoin Average rate at the time the payment is made. The one month period will begin as soon as the banner and the payment are received and I have placed the ad on our site. Escrow with a trusted forum or #bitcoin-otc member will be gladly accepted as long as you pay any fees. I also have to reserve the right to decline a bidder for any reason. Nothing NSFW, illegal, or generally sketchy, please. Gambling ads are acceptable. If I have to decline a bidder, the second place bidder will win the auction for the second place bid price.

$5

10$ I guess

$15

Would you be interested in a swap of advertisement slots? I have a tech blog, techist.net (http://techist.net)
and two faucets, coincompound.com and bitcoiner.website
coincompound gets 8-9k daily views and bitcoiner.website gets 1k daily views
please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks for the bids guys! Keep them coming!

Bitcoin Explorer: I sent you a PM. I might be open to a swap but it would probably be easier not to do that as part of this auction, so we'll work that out separately.

$20

$25

Awesome, thanks! Bumping.

Just a little over 24 hours left!

$30

Due to server downtime, this auction will be extended until 24 hours after the original end time/date. The new end time/date is 3PM Eastern on Friday, January 23.

The 10 minute extension rule for late bids still applies.

Just about an hour and a half left on this.

$35

Winner? :)

Yep, that's you! I'll send a PM. Thanks for bidding!

Damn, I would've bid $40 but I was out. Oh well, congrats to dogedigital.

To anyone interested:

DogeDigital will not be ready to start advertising for another month or so. If you are interested in filling that space with your own ad, I can offer the same price as the winning bid ($35). Same terms as the OP. Just pm me if you're interested!

I have PM'd.  I am ready for that spot.
