I must say thank you to all the people we have gained from our advertising here on Oprano as well.


Kudos to you Nick and Gonzo , for making it possible for anyone to afford advertising again.

I can't speak for other boards, but I know any small to medium program owner that has to consider a budget, that the return on investment we have recieved from Oprano is doable and effective.

I am afraid if the price was 2 or 3 K per month that might not be the case for a company our size.

Not to mention that someone that sets up a tgp with our program and knows what they are doing produce a much higher return, than the ones that are just getting started and get less than 1,000 hits a day and pick the wrong sponsors so our 10% webmaster referral we gain and our 1% traffic skim do not amount to much from ten users like that.

However for the ones that know what sponsors to use, and how to move traffic around ( the shaarks and whales) that same system becomes much more profitable to us .

I can only imagine as a pay program sponsor that the quality differences over the quantity would equal less overhead ( time spent babysitting the young ones LOL) and a much greater return as well.

How does that rotation thing work anyway?
I always thought if you were an advertiser , that you werre in rotation and it was a random thing, is that not the case? anybody know?

Thanks Anth... I consider that high praise coming from you. Its great knowing that Darby is happy with whats going on over here. I trust he will let us know if he needs anything further. We are here to help!


Thanks Joe!

I trust that your campaign for Remote Thumbs is doing well for you also. Nick and I appreciate the support. Let us know if you need anything as well.

To both of you...

As I told Far L yesterday... the tone of community is defined by the members that frequent it bot as lurkers and active participants. The active participants help keep things interesting and they draw people back to see what they have to say. Lukers and participants BOTH determine the success of the board's revenue by clicking on sponsors and signing up.

Its the members that make the difference. We just serve as hosts!

BTW the ads are totated on an equal unwieghted rotation in PHPads. So everyone gets seen and a chance at the click!

Thanks Anth and Joe... I know both of you are responsible for helping attract new members to this community as well!
