Host gator affiliates: Black friday promotion

[Eldarion]

Hey if any of you are going to be trying to promote the black friday sale I made a banner ad for it. Nothing super great but it's a banner. Feel free to use it if you like, I doubt I'll be scoring any commissions anyway.

lol @banner , even though its BLACK friday , black and white banners don't attract , IMO you should go for bright atrractive colours . Unless your doing PPC than this is perfect.

Isn't that what most hostgator hosted sites look like?

Why do you have 22 baby plans, because of the diode limit?

 

[avatar33]

the inode limit is really annoying...

I love that the 80% off special lasted for 12 minutes, all of which the pages were timing out like crazy.

I can only assume he was referring to the fact that you won't be wasting money paying for impressions that don't result i clicks, as you would with other pay-per-impression type banner ads. In that sense, by using ppc, a dull, unattractive, banner would not as quickly equate to throwing money out the window as it would under other circumstances.

Still, I don't know about that guy, but when i spend money on advertising I want to make money, and therefore his theory about ppc doesn't make much sense to me.

Maybe he meant something else, but to me, the banner is a fail.

hehe they told me 7 minutes, but whatever.

I'm not upset with them, really. I mean come on, a company using a marketing tactic on marketers OH ONES!!

Companies have been exploiting big sales gimmicks on black Friday since forever. $199 brand new laptops and $100 flatscreens... come on! There's really nothing different here, they're just trying to get people "in the store" just like any other business.

I can't knock their hustle.
