Scoop Ad Exchange
By dram , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Thu Mar 14, 2002 at 12:00:00 PM PST

Now that ads work well and are easy enough to implement - I did it, how hard could it be - I was thinking about setting up some sort of ad exchange for scoop sites. I think that it would be a nice, easy way for some of us poor college students (read: me) to get some free advertising on other sites. What does everybody think of this? Would anybody be interested?

I don't know how it would work yet. Maybe I could just make a list of everybody that is involved with this, or anybody that is interested could just post a comment here and leave their email and url. Any ideas on this issue either? Post a message, send me an email, and visit my website. I look forward to seeing something like this up and running!

I don't currently have the ads stuff installed (in fact, at the moment I'm running a mostly-stock 0.8.1, altho' some of the boxes have been replaced and many have been customised); but this is one thing that would make me consider installing it.

I'm all for it - let's do it. I just need to get add code setup on giz. :-)
