For the past year, the Motherboards have gradually introduced Google Adwords. This has replaced most of our older, banner-based advertising. It is easier for us and SO much easier for you as an advertiser.
We have placed these ads in the left-hand margin, only in forums where they have been clicked-through often, and deliver very relevant results.
The permanent locations are
The Nightclub Forums (Category Page)
NYC Nightclubs and Events Forum
Queenmother's NYC Drag Clubs and Resources
Queenmother's TransNYC
If you'd like to have your ads appear on any of those specific forums, just click the "advertise on this site" link near the text ads on the forum you'd like to be on.
This will take you through to an explanatory page, where you can sign in and immediately buy adspace if you already have an Adwords account. It will also let you set up an account, and takes you through the easy, 5-minute signup.
Adwords Portal The advantages to this kind of advertising are many, and well documented on the page. In terms of the Motherboards, it is ideal to keep your topic/business/event well placed and to the left of all forum topics.
The greatest bit? You dont pay unless someone clicks through your ad.
I am glad to answer any questions here, or via email to the Mboards support addy - mboards @ jackiefactory.com.
