Million Dollar Website

Hi all
The site is not a bad idea but two things would prevent me advertising in it.

1) How are you going to convince people to go to a site purely to view advertising? whats in it for them to go there?
Most people generally avoid seeing advertising like the plague

2) of all the several hundred adverts there it is going to make it tough to make anyones stand out from the crowd.

You're absolutely right ... as an advertising medium, it's totally flawed. It only works with the added 'clever student' PR story. That's what is driving traffic there, and what you couldn't replicate.

As you rightly say, as the site fills up, click-throughs to individual advertisers will drop. Only way to overcome that is to buy a bigger ad!

I do love the idea, but as rightly stated it is flawed. Though a gimick as another said, but how much has this gimic cost people already?

I just took another look and all i really see is a glorified patchwork quilt type of format.

Many of the ads do not stand out. The advertisers might as well have saved their cash.

Those that do vaguely stand out are too small even to be noticed. it even looks to me like some ads might have overlapped others!

Perhaps a better idea might come of it.
Then again i am sure as many of you are aware by now i am a natural cynic :)

:oops: now i never new that.

It does not change my opinion, but lets say i think of it with more respect.

As 10 Yetis says (who i note from their website are specialist in PR and marketing) the site has not failed has it. It has had the biggest critic of all, me, posting half a dozen times today about it! Fell for that one.

I think to coin the term of the Yeti, i think i will get my coat now :oops:
