Advertisers supply whatever format they want.

Thanks SG!

yeah def good :-)

Wow, I just visited Men.com and that has to be one of the sloppiest, most ad-filled sites ever. What a piece of shit. :2 cents:

I must agree... better make it a magazine for men or a place there women can find men.

btw, the pictures to the left is a total waste and they take the focus out of all the important stuff(personals etc)..

:2 cents:

my tushy sites look simple but thats what makes me money sometimes its not the high end fancy stuff that make bank, I dont have a design ego all i care for is bottom line.

Indeed, I agree. However your statement presumes that men.com actually makes "bank". I really doubt it's making all that much/and or a fraction of what it could be making, had this design not been sacrificed at the helm of ad-central.

your tushy sites I dont complain-- I send sales lol.

sometimes. :thumbsup

here is where KRL gets called out to show stats.

buahahah

:1orglaugh LOL

:glugglug Cheers Fletch

Funny while posting just sold a penis enlarger. :1orglaugh

Laugh all you want, you're bigger than me. Oh wait, no your not. I should rephrase that - your financial backer who purchased men.com is larger than me. Thus, my statements should be discredited and laughed at.

I don't laugh at critics, just jest with them. All comments are always welcomed and appreciated like I said.

Wow, I just visited Screw.com. You're jamming me on design?

On a serious note, have you thought of selling that to Al Goldstein? He'd probably snap that up in a second.

not sure if this has been asked before, what does 'KRL' stand for?

Okay, no problem. :thumbsup

I no longer own screw.com, I sold it a month or so back. Forgot to update my 'www' link, apologies.

My mantra for perseverence.

"Keep Rowing Longer"

i thought it stood for Kacey Rochelle Lightfoot

thanks

Theoretically speaking the idea of Multi Media based presentations with Video, QuickTime, VRML, and various interactive mediums were a flop.

The internet has gone through Multi Media based campaigns already and much to my own surprise form and function was the dominant result over "Cool" or "Interactive".

People want what they are looking for in as few clicks as possible and the same rules apply as they did even 5 years ago.

The biggest rule of them all was the 5 seconds rule that says basically if they dont click in 5 seconds your not gonna get a click at all.

you mean commercials like this?

Just when you thought popups weren't annoying enough :thumbsup

Goddamn if this takes off I may never surf the web again :Graucho

Video based ad's can work, depends where and how they are used really. I would suppose the trick is realising that it more of an efort to brand than generate clickthrough however.

On the other hands MGP'ers can debate this:)

If anyone needs some made gimme a shot.

Bored in SOHO

Great ad EB. I'm not into the niche but that ad made me want to see more!

There is a patent on this concept :2 cents:

For a lot of users, the text link would be necessary. I've tried imbedding auto play videos on tours before & found it crashed too many browsers.

WMV is still fucked on my Win2000 box. Right click > Save As works fine, but just hitting play errors.

Flash works beautifully though & I see you have that option covered. :)

My friend tried adding a video-ad from Smirnoff and Budweiser to his site, in WMV, but it wasn't well received at all. He then tried it out as Flash and got much better clicks.

I'd have to agree Flash is a way better option, and will a lot more compatible probably.

KRL,

Have you considered partnering up with a video production company? You could offer a service for those who want to advertise but cannot create their own commercials, thus making available youre technology to more potential clients (as well as pulling in the production money).

Just a thought :thumbsup

Yep, that's where a lot of the money is in rich media. :Graucho

Cool....could be our next deal then if the other 2 go well :winkwink:

Indeed $$$$ :Graucho

That sounds like a real winner. Let's talk about it.

:thumbsup

Rick, what's your email I have an idea I'd like to talk to you about.

I've seen more and more flash presentations being implemented into adult site tours. It's coming.

The reason wmv or mpeg files aren't being used is that there's just no guarantee that your user has the latest version of those players, and the file sizes are just too darn big.

Flash can be a very effective file size sensitive medium through the use of moving masked images and animated text, along with the inclusion of audio.

A 200kb flash file which will actually load quickly can be just as effective if not more than a 1MB video clip.

Very groovy idea though.

:2 cents:

I'm wondering if human advertising would also work... like writing your URL on someone's forehead for $20. Some people will do anything for money. :winkwink:

I believe I remember some site trying that, having people get tatoos for like $200 or something.

Here is a media player skin I made for the bucci-twins

SAFE DOWNLOAD

http://www.designpage.com/BUCCI-TWINS.COM.wmz

I can make these custom to your web site and movie clips.

To make surfers download this kind of media player I need to build a tutorial page for the warnings they will be presented with when the download starts. Also how to change it back to the default player :Graucho

icq# 32027503

How do you get back the original skin?

Right click and scroll down to switch to full mode.

Yeh did that already. What's a good site to try other skins?

I like to keep an eye out for new ideas but i gotta wonder if this is something that we do the work and you guys get rich. Sounds like a good idea i need to know much more! :2 cents:

http://www.designpage.com/DEVILSPOST.COM.wmz here is one I made for my flagship site :1orglaugh I have some small test clips connected to it so it will work but I can edit the playlist to point to other movies.

The first one I made http://www.designpage.com/shuttle.wmz it is a space shuttle cockpit simmulator.


And you can find some great ones search google for

media player skins

Damn, that shuttle cockpit skin is really slick. :thumbsup

Thanks! I have one somewhere without all the ads on it :)

There's some more info on this up now.

http://search.men.com/advertisers/media-kit/default.asp

Can I get paid to run the ads in my playlists and streams?

----------
No ads on this shuttle skin http://www.designpage.com/SpaceShuttle.wmz

Yep, its got regular PPC text ads and then the rich media as well.

The idea is the rich media ads get a much higher CTR so there's a lot more money being generated for everyone.

Can you post the one that's ads free. Thanks.
