So, if you advertise on GFY....
 

All this GEO targeting made me think. If you advertise on GFY you can team up with the GFY crew and 'personalise' your banner using either the webmaster's IP address or the cookie that GFY sets (matching the user's ID against the webmaster's nick). So every time say SmokyTheBear loads your banner, the banner will read (just an example):
"Smoky, join us and make $35.00 per signup".

I'm absolutely positive that the CTR will be mush higher. Can this be easily done? Will the banner load too slow? What do you guys think, good idea, or a brain fart?

Now that we know the trick we won't fall for it! ;)

You'd be surprised how well that would work

I have no doubt that it will work well, I'm more interested in the actual implementation. Well, let's hope a PHP/script guy will give us his 2c ;)

good thinking... i wont be clickin em ;)

Here is a twist, now put the names in a flash file on the fly for the top slot then perhaps...

Then ya Might have somthing.

But but but..... what would it say for juiclylinks??


Juicy D Guido, juicylinks, mrizzz, sears salesman, lensman, and all your other fake nicks, join us and make $35.00 per signup

Will it say all that?????

thats kind of a good idea i wonder what the CTR is on the banners on GFY

You lost me. Care to explain in nontechnical terms ;)

Yes. You won't be clicking them. But that doesn't mean that everybody else will do the same.

I run a small surfer's forum and would love to have something like that in place for some banners I run on it.

Well you have their IPs just get a programmer

Just a final bump before I let this thread die.

I never noticed that there's even a banner at the top ;) too much shit going on on the board anyway

With some of the guys on here with 1000 fake nicks from the same IP that thing would crash the whole board and internet and cut off the gas pumps at your local 7-11...

thats a pretty good idea

good thinking Antonio :thumbsup

Good idea, already saw something semi-similar to that but a little more "basic" somewhere else.

I'm actually waiting for a programmer/PHP guy to tell me what the pros and cons might be. Alternatevly I have to start a new thread and just make sure to include the words 'tits', 'ass' and 'Britney Spears' in the title ;)

I know that the area based logo cought my attention. A name would be grand.
