Hi all,
Sorry i think people have got the wrong end of the stick, i am going to try
and start a webdesign company and want to put my banner on all pages i
create, but a banner can really screw up how a framed page looks, and ruins
the design, so i thought a nice unobtrusive pop under so when you exit the
site you see who made it, otherwise, could i make it show a page to people
before they move on to a different site?
TTFN

Thanks,
I found out how to do it anyway muwhahah :-)
Surely a popunder window is neater than a big ugly banner add at the top • of
the page?

Nope, it's much worse.  And what's more, neither one is going to make
you much money.

The only form of online sponsorship that is at all lucrative (and even
then, it isn't very lucrative usually) on the small scale is to join
affiliate programs and use text links rather than banner ads to link
to the sites.  As a simple example, link to books on Amazon.com and if
they buy the book you get a percentage.  But there are plenty of other
affiliate programs out there besides that one...

Banner ads and popunders make money for sites that get tons and tons
of hits, because enough people are willing to put up with them in
order to find the content they are looking for, but for smaller sites
you'll just drive away customers.

(...) No problem. Just stop thinking banner......... start thinking 'logo'. Have yourself or a graphic artist do up a professional looking logo graphic for you. Put this *reasonable* sized graphic at the bottom of each and every page you make. Make (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Ah, see, "unobtrusive" is where you make your mistake. Most people view popunders as *very* obtrusive. Same with pages that come up when you try to click on a link to go somewhere else. And while I'm at it, also pages which take it upon (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
