One time announcement: Cheap Webmaster Traffic (8 days remained!)
 

Due to the dramatic increase of webmaster traffic at .http://www.fhgstore.com, we decided to rise our ad prices. The new prices will go into effect on Jan 01 2005. However we will keep the old pricing for all our existing customers who bought our spots BEFORE 01/01/2005.

All the details here: http://www.fhgstore.com/advertise.html

You're increasing your prices for a Top banner from $159 to $350?

Yes exactly starting from 1/1/2005. And once again: all CURRENT customers or the new ones who will buy an ad spot BEFORE 1/1/2005 will be billed by old price scheme. E.g. if you buy an ad spot (say 120x60 for $59) today, and if you will renew it every month continuously, the price will be $59 per month. However if you'll decide to stop using our ad spot when come back later (say after a couple of months) you'll will have to pay $150 for the same 120x60 button. So the price will be changed for NEW customers only.

I think it's fair. Isn't it?

Sounds like too much of a jump but keeping the current users happy is a good thing...

That was my point.

I could be interested under the current prices but I won't start my program until March, so there's no point for me in buying this advertising now since I have nothing to promote yet.

Actually I don't know any other adult webmaster portal (even less popular and with lesser amount of traffic) who sell their spots under $400-$600. So I don't think it's a really big jump. $350 for a top 468x60 ad spot is still one of the lowest prices there. :2 cents:

P.S. polish_aristocrat, just show me at least one rather famous webmaster portal which sells ad spots less than $350, especialy big top banners.
