Ad Network

I’ve recently been having trouble over at Subeta finding a good ad network, and I just settled on creating our own user-generated ad content. I think this is a good move because it allows users to upload their own ads to show across the forums. Advertising shops, cults, and other areas of the site (or just making a message to other users, which a few people have done ;))

Now - I’m wondering if I should extend the Subeta ad platform to my other sites. For example, would Subeta users be more keen to purchasing ads if they knew that they’d be displayed on Valenth as well? Also, I wonder how much more work I’d have to do in the platform to make it be ’succesful’ on Valenth and other sites that get enough traffic to warrent it.

The problem is people who link to their Subeta content (ie: shops, trades, personal posts, journals, etc) and people on the other sites (omgimages, valenth, etc) aren’t aware of Subeta, and probably won’t click on those ads. The benefit to that would be getting them TO click on the ads, and explore Subeta. Which really only benefits me, and not those users.

Also, allowing users on those sites to purchase ads would get them to Subeta, since that is where the platform would be…

I’m not sure - it’s all interesting, though.
