CGA banner links?

STRAT · July 31st, 2003

Jeff, if we click on the cga advertising banner links on the various pages do you make money per click like in some other forums?

if so, is it worth us clicking away all the time to make sure the readies keep flowing?

well there you have it folks.....GET CLICKING!!!

Advertising is the ONLY thing that keep the site running. While there is a large benefit to just having their name on the site, the only way they can measure the success of a campaign is by the number of clicks they receive on their banners. I am not paid by click, but rather by the month with varying rates depending upon the position they choose. Soooo...every click means a better performing campaign which equals advertsiers that want to continue their campaigns. It is very important that you visit the adertisers sites. Important for everyone if you want to see the site carrry on and grow.

Hey Jeff,

What about that cgarchitect-window when we click in a newsthread? I normally close that as I prefer to see the link where I am, but really what is the best way to get your click-count up?
How does that work?

Hey Nisus,

Yes I added that so that I could get the ad serving up. On CGA2 I'll clean it up a bit, but it does help us out and allows me to add one more sponsor each month.

As an aside I'm happy to report that we are doing really well and are booked solid until Jan 04.

Seems we are finally on the road map

Wonderful news Jeff!

So about the add, does that only adds one click to the count? or several once we start surfing with the add still on top?

Hey Nisus,

Not quite sure I understand your question, but ad work on a percentage basis to determine performance. Well at least on paper anyway.

Each time a banner is displayed that counts as one impression. Each time someone clicks a banner that counts as one click. If a company's banner show up 100 times and gets 1 click then the CTR (Click through ratio) is 1%. In most industries you will never see much more than a 1% CTR. CGA averages 0.25-1% in most cases. We charge a flat monthly fee regardless of the banner performance however the CTR is what most advertisers will use to determine if they need to change the banner, try in a different month, or just change venues altogether.

Did that answer your question?

Jeff, you may have to look at the code of your banner, because some webpages doesn't work correct with your banner ..click images (beside the fact that you change the appearance of a webpage, which always is critical to me)

I would like to see a popup on CGarchitect, because my googlebar can kill it and i could have a clean look at the webpage aund url.

Can you expain the problem and what you mean by the pop up? I don't really understand what you are getting at.
