Title: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Cøbra on March 01, 2016, 02:20:01 PM About Bitcoin.org
Bitcoin.org is the first Bitcoin website created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 to promote the Bitcoin software. Bitcoin.org is currently responsible for distributing the Bitcoin Core software and introducing new visitors to Bitcoin. The site is ranked #1 on Google for the search term "Bitcoin". The Ads The ads will be displayed at the top of the site, for a preview of how the ads will look, Bitcoin.org is currently serving an ad that links to this thread. Ads won't be displayed to visitors that are viewing the site on mobile. Ads are sold in a format very similar to how this forum sells ads. There are 3 ad slots and each slot has an equal probability of being shown on each page load. The ads will run for a 5 day period and will be shown to an estimated 100,000+ unique visitors. The majority of these visitors are very high quality and coming from search engines. When a user clicks on your ad, your website opens in a new tab. Bidding The starting price is 0.5 BTC per slot. Bidding for more than one slot can be done using the notation "2 @ 1 BTC" which means "2 slots at 1 BTC each". The auction will end on Sunday the 6th of March at 18:00 UTC. I reserve the right to reject certain bids. Please be very careful and watch out for people pretending to be me.

Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: OmegaStarScream on March 01, 2016, 04:16:58 PM As a bitcoin user I don't want to see ads on Bitcoin.org I couldn't agree more and what the Bitcoin foundation is doing exactly if they are not funding ? also @OP , are you Sirius (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4) , I thought he is the only one who have control Bitcoin.org (beside Theymos) Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: xinzark on March 01, 2016, 04:20:37 PM I don't think placing ads on such a popular site about bitcoin would be a good idea and effort towards bitcoin community
Donation button might be a better option IMO than ads Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Joel_Jantsen on March 01, 2016, 06:06:33 PM Don't understand why would you want to advertise on a website which is the main source of introductory knowledge for beginners . I'm sure Satoshi would never any such intentions of making money from bitcoin.org.Moreover not sure what kind of advertisements what will be accepted.Suppose if you're advertising a ponzi which initially is reputed and quite well structured ,there are chances it will scam in the future and run away with the investments.
Point is,don't want bitcoin.org as the source for the scam.You can take any advertisements for example ,you would not know they're scam until the turn out to be one. Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: BitHodler on March 01, 2016, 09:39:33 PM At first I thought it was a scam attempt, but it would have been deleted already if that was the case.
I do not like seeing ads on the bitcoin.org website as that would give the site an amateurish feel and look. Keep it clean. Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Lincoln6Echo on March 01, 2016, 10:01:30 PM imho it is a stupid idea to place some crappy ads on bitcoin.org >:(
stop it. How about a donation button??? Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Cøbra on March 02, 2016, 12:09:03 AM I understand that you all have opinions on ads on bitcoin.org. However there is an ongoing discussion already on GitHub (https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/1139) about that. Please feel free to express your thoughts there.
However this topic is for those interested in these ads to place bids. This thread isn't meant to be a discussion or debate about having ads on the site. I hope you guys understand. Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Smack That Ace on March 02, 2016, 11:44:38 PM Hello,

Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Dogedigital on March 04, 2016, 02:45:38 PM ^ lol.
Since it's in text format, ad-blockers won't disable the ad? Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Cøbra on March 04, 2016, 06:05:42 PM ^ lol. Since it's in text format, ad-blockers won't disable the ad? Currently ad-blockers are blocking it, probably because it's detecting the word "ad" in the CSS. I'll make an effort to bypass the ad-blockers once the ads are live though, but I can't make any guarantees about that. Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Cøbra on March 05, 2016, 08:07:22 PM Less than 24 hours until the auction ends.
Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: BetBTC on March 06, 2016, 07:25:12 AM Since apparently it's only text and not image banner we'll have to retract our bid

Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: Holdaaja on March 06, 2016, 12:13:22 PM For people who want them to stop selling ads start taking donations.
Make whip-round, buy the ad place and put your donation link there and with the donations keep buying the ad place again :D Title: Re: Advertise on Bitcoin.org - Round 1 Post by: redsn0w on March 06, 2016, 01:34:32 PM Would like to get more information about the ad itself - max characters, size, colouring, etc Yeah, I'm also interested.
