Suggestions for advertising on new forum - please
I am nearly finished setting up an new forum and need to figure out the advertising. The forum is for distributed computing and client monitoring systems. I plan to run a well targeted $100-200 ad campaign on specific sites to get the forum going.
The current plan is to have 6-8 'community sponsors'. I don't like ads on sites, so I am going to try this method, where a company/site pays xx/month for a square in the right margin (somewhere around 80x120px). I estimate the forum to have a couple thousand members within the first 60 days.
What would be a good price range per ad to expect - after the first few months? I will have a discount for the first 3 months due to the growing size of the forum.
Many thanks.
