Ad Swap?

[Mr President]

Hey guys,

It's been awhile since i have been here.. Things are looking good! Not sure if this goes in this section but you can move it if not

Anyway, i have been a faf user for awhile now while working on a new game. The new game is done and has been running for a few sets now. Even though i don't host the faf code anymore, i know some of my members would still enjoy playing faf. So i was thinking that maybe we could help each other out and swap ads. That way my members will be reminded of this game and your members mine..

currently i have around 1200 members.

Let me know what you think. If you want to check it out first before you decide here is the link:

www.nation-wars.com

and our forums:

www.forums.nation-wars.com

looking forward to hearing from you...

thanks!

Yes, I'd be interested in that. What do you envision -- a link under Affiliates, or a banner exchange?

[Mr President]

I'm thinking a banner exchange.

I don't think we really need to make it so it counts stats and conversions. I'm thinking just a simple banner and when clicked it links to each others games.

also i'm thinking banner sizes around 400x100 (can be longer i just don't want to go higher)

All sounds good to me. I'd like to have some other staffers chip in, because they know better about what banners to use and where to put them.

[Mr President]

ok no problem..

For my game i have 2 spots that can be used. The top of the screen or the bottom under the copyright info..

all non premium members will see the banner on every page.

Um, I'm not good with this. Bjorn or Windy....

[Mr President]

Why are you not good with this? It's free advertisement for both of us. My members would be apt to play this game and yours my game. Don't you want new members?

There is no money involved. I would place a small banner pic of this game on my game and when my members click it, they are brought to your game and visa versa..

Just thought it might help get some new blood in both games.

[Freenhult]

Thats not my point. Its that I'm not good with HTML work. Other people are.

[Mr President]

lmao.. oh sorry.. completely misunderstood you.

[Guess who]

I registered there, didnt see 1200 ppl but there are quite a few

[Mr President]

We have over 1200 on the forums and the amount that play the game varies set to set.. We just started the new set and not everyone has joined up for it yet.. Normally this time of year it's slower due to the holidays..

And of course not all are 100% active. The game has only been open a few months now and it's still growing.

If you google search it we are ranked 2nd in many key word areas. We have several blogs, CSS, and other advertising tools. Compared to many we are still small, but we are growing each month. Last month we had 63 new members and this month so far we are over 25 so unless it really drops off we will easily pass the 63. Each month we have passed the previous.

The core members of my community all played the faf version of prom. Many have asked me to put that version back up and run it on another server for them to play.
This current game i have takes up all my free time so i would not have time to manage another server/game, so that is why i thought maybe we could do a banner swap and those who still wanted to play it could come here and help your game grow.

That sounds good to me. I must poke the staff,.

[The Beatles]

So here's a banner URL you can use:
http://frostnflame.org/img/banner/

It randomly rotates between the available banners. There is only one available banner, but it randomly rotates among those.

Let me know what else we'll need to get started.

[Mr President]

That is all i will need.. I will get you a Nation-Wars banner very soon and i'll have your banner on our game within the next couple of days.

[The Beatles]

Splendid! Once you get me the Nation-Wars banner, we can decide on what pages on the site to put it. I don't even know what's customary, as I haven't done banner exchanges before, although I plan to from now on. There's been several good ones that I've missed just because I hadn't done them before and apparently nobody in the staff had either.
