Topic: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

http://adsbb.com/banner01.gif

This is truly free advertising. You can create full page, full colour ads that will be indexed by Google and other major search engines in a matter of days.

If you register, you can login to edit your ad at any time to update prices etc. You can also post as many different ads as you like.

I review each ad individually, and I retain the right to delete any ad I don't like for any reason.

If you have any comments or questions you can email me.

If you are offering any product or service, please first register here, then feel free to post as many different free ads as you like here.

If you need me to load up an ad for you the charge is $50 per ad.

Remember more ads = more traffic = more clients!

I am also looking for moderators to help review ads, please email me if you are interested.

Each review posted = another link to your site.

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

Not really sure what you mean, I did modify it a little, changed the language files etc. If you are willing to link to my site I would definitely help you set up a similar forum.

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

I have made some more changes. Everything should load faster now.

Any comments on the iframe at the bottom? Anyone have a better idea?

Thanks.

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

have you thought of a external link system so that people can display ur ads on anyone site?

example: http://adsbb.com/ads.php?id=12345 (that is the member id number) once placed in a site it will rotate ads

My stuff or my style might sux, but atleast I'm willing to help when I can.

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

Sounds like a good idea, the closest I've done to some thing like that is: http://fixpc.co.za/?go=ad-o-meter.php&a … ixpc.co.za

Not too sure how to do the randomising bit though. Any pointers?

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

Here's a small banner that will rotate the ads based on performance, what do you think?

<table width=468 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td align=right><a href=http://adsbb.com/ target=top>AdsBB - Top 100 FREE Ads</a></td></tr>
<tr><td><iframe frameborder="1" noresize="1" height="60" 
marginheight="0" src="http://adsbb.com/top100ads.php" width="468"></iframe></td></tr>
</table>

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

this seem to be the script?
now if that can be turned into a script like google ads..
ummm....

im thinking on it..

http://adsbb.com/top100ads.php

if it would show say 5 at a time and rotate on page refresh.. that would be cool.

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

Think it looks better with the banner on top?

<table width=468 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td align=right><a href=http://adsbb.com/ target=top>
<img border=0 alt="Top 100 FREE Ads" src=http://adsbb.com/banner01.gif></a>
</td></tr><tr><td><iframe frameborder="1" noresize="1" width="468" height="60" 
marginheight="0" src="http://adsbb.com/top100ads.php" ></iframe></td></tr>
</table>

Or to the side?

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<td align=right><a href=http://adsbb.com/ target=top>
<img border=0 alt="Top 100 FREE Ads" src=http://adsbb.com/banner01.gif></a>
</td><td><iframe frameborder="1" noresize="1" width="468" height="60" 
marginheight="0" src="http://adsbb.com/top100ads.php" ></iframe></td>
</table>

That would be better for the search engines than an iframe.

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

all you need to do is add the image upload mod to it..
or a image link to display the images..

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

Punbb code is so easy to fiddle with!

Check it out! It loads even faster now and there's even more space for ads.

Re: Free Advertising Bulletin Board

I just looked at it again. Not sure how the javascript works. What would be the benefits as opposed to an iframe? Will the search engines spider it?

Thanks.
