Title: Advertise in the Signature Overview Thread [Round 1]
Post by: Mitchell on August 28, 2014, 07:23:45 PM
I am going to auction non-intrusive ad space in my "Signature Overview (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0)"-thread. I have been keeping this topic up-to-date for a while now and I decided that it's time to get a little bit out of it (since no-one donates).


Ad Format

  • Leaderboard style (728x90px)
  • Static images (jpg, gif, png)
  • Non annoying colors
  • Ads may not misrepresent, lie, be inappropriate, be (or link to) NSFW content. I reserve the right to reject ads for other reasons or remove ads even after they have been accepted.


Extra information

  • There is 1 for sale. This ad slot is located at the top and everyone will see it.
  • The ad will be up for at least 10 days from when they are put up.


Auction Format

  • Auction will run for approximately 10 days, to end at midnight Amsterdam time (1PM PDT / 7PM EDT) on Sunday 7th September
  • Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC.
  • If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.
  • Bidding starts at 0.01BTC. All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.01BTC.

I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("bitcoininformation", user ID 113670). You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.

Damn! I didn't expect that. That is quite a lot. I was expecting like 300-400 views per week. Well, this should make interesting ;D

Extra inforamtion: It's now 16.57 and the auction ends at 23.59.

I would prefer to have it up as soon as possible. You get the ad for 10 days, so the longer you wait the shorter it will be shown. If that makes any sense, haha. I'm quite tired.

How long will this advert run for? 0.04 isn't bad depending on how long it'll stay. Is it up for a month and when will you be doing another auction?

Anyone want to buy a day of advertising from me, still haven't designed the banner yet. Kinda wasting some time here.

I'll buy at pro-rata (hourly) at my bid of 0.02 off you. Bitcoin information has my banner and all details required I believe
