On the search engine implementation you have to click to play. Its not intrusive.

Great Idea :thumbsup

Very ... very interesting. :Graucho

Well. I have some connections with a couple of small media outlets and advertising agency. If there's anything I can do to help out with this, ICQ & e-mail in sig :)

It sounds very interesting. Hit me up on icq so I can learn more.

sounds great KRL... you're always ahead of the crowd :thumbsup

If you have the time be so kind to drop me an e-mail as what the promotional options for this technique are for webmasters (so B2B)

Contact info in sig...

Great Idea KRL I will be keeping an eye on it :thumbsup

do you recognize the voice on that?

I know its unrelated to the thread itself but the title reminded me

TV Style commercials...

why not use flash to make the movie?

LOL, Yes I know whose voice that is EB. Sha---n. :)

:Graucho

After 20 years of working with audio I've gotten pretty good at voice regonition. :1orglaugh

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

:1orglaugh

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:
