I think It'd be cool if AlexP Or any one else, made some banner ads that redirect you to this site, that way users can post the ads on there websites, This would generate possibly more positive traffic, instead of just the random guy that stopped in because they found Die! zombie Die! on a google search. Because people could post it on sites that say, hey this is a writing site where you can write your own CYOS games, and even vote for others.

I also know of a few chat programs a friend of mine owns that would love to post a banner ad for a site, for free even. This would create a higher amount of traffic, and more repeat visits. I know we all like how closed the community is, because if you say hi to every new user for atleast a week you already know everybody, but still I think this is an Idea we should consider. I know I'd be the first to plaster the CYS Banner ad all over my sites.

(Those are just photoshop images of certain pixel dimensions that advertise CYS right?)

Do they link to the site on click? Someone else might have to do that for me. but I could prolly create one. I 'shop lots.

This is what I was thinking -- someone could totally make banners/buttons that others could post on their site, and then this could be posted as an article.

Who wants to take this on?

I dunno, i've seen other sites where they have "link to us" or whatever..

I'd guess, banners like in the size of 125 x 125, 150 x 75 -- p[erhaps look around and see how other sites do it?

People could put them on Steam or Myspace profiles...

Incidentally, do we have a wikipedia page?

Wikipedia may not allow us to make a page for this site.  Firstly, they don't allow pages that read like advertisements for sites, and secondly, they may tag it as not meeting the notability requirements.

Triple J, to try it out makes some 468px x 60 px banners. They don't have to be animated or anything. They should probably be .png's in this day and age, but pretty small, figuring they have to be able to load really fast. You can do other sizes that are vertical, too.

The implementation of the link is really, really simple and has to do with the html or javascript or whatever page it's actually on.

I used to actually have to do this banner stuff for media.net and grey advertising like 12 years ago when banner ads were a new concept, so if you need any suggestions or anything feel free to ask bro -

I'm sure with your Pshop skills you'll be able to hook it up nice and phat.

Also, we may be able to stash ourselves in either:
