About one year has passed since the forum
first started advertising. To celebrate one year of ads, I'm changing the rules this round to hopefully allow more people to advertise.
There are
52 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a
one in 52 chance of appearing.
52 of the slots are for sale here. Ads appear only on topic pages with more than one post, and only for people using the default theme.
The ad lasts 7 days starting from when I put it up.
Ad writing guide
I will not be able to help advertisers with creating ads this week.
You must use this template for your ad unless you advertised within the last few weeks:<span style="STYLE HERE"><a href="URL HERE">TEXT HERE</a></span>
- Ads must not contain images or JavaScript
- Ads must not animate (no <blink> or <marquee>). Subtle CSS hover effects may be allowed, since other links on the forum do that.
- Ads must not load things from external sites.
- Ads must not be taller than 3 lines of default-styled text (as they appear on my browser, which is about 700px wide). This is around 42px.
- I will reject ads if I find them to be especially annoying
- HTML should be valid XHTML 1.0 transitional. Use proper HTML entities for characters like '&'
- Note that your ad's style may be affected by the board's default CSSAd text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link
directly to any NSFW page. Ads may be rejected for other reasons.

https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfoAuction rulesYou may only bid in this auction if you are at least a Jr. Member and you registered before the time of this post.
Each person may only buy one slot.
Post your bids in this thread. Just post how much you'll pay for 1 slot. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all 52 slots are filled.- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled.
-
All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.01.- The bidding starts at 0.05.- I will end the auction at an arbitrarily-chosen time up to 7 days from now.- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.
- If not all slots are filled, the total number of slots in rotation will be reduced.
You must pay for your slots and send me your ad within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else.
I sometimes give leeway on late payments, but I will not do so this round. Make sure you pay as soon as you see my winners PM.

I'm happy to see the bets finally resolved, and I'm very interested to see which one will win. I thought the winner would be announced a short time after the SHA-3 candidate conference, which is why I set the deadline so early.
