I have one convert! You rock Bob!!! :) OK, I'll put my money where my mouth is. Bananagold will pay 200 grams for a banner ad, as shown here, for the month of March. >> >> http://www.bananagold.com/howitshouldbe.gif A typical rate for banner ads is $10 per thousand. About 10 thousand people per day see the spend page .. thats about $100 per day then, or about $3000 per month. (Obviously, you could perhaps argue that such specialized banner location is worth much more.) Bananagold bids 200 grams for MARCH SPEND PAGE placement for a standard-sized ad banner, with the usual "this is an advertisement" disclaimer slugs from egold, just as shown in the example above. Come on, let's put some OXYGEN in the fire of egold commerce --- or at the end of 2001 we'll all just be sitting around, the same 20 people talking about how wonderful egold is in theory and how great it is that 1 person a day actually buys something from amazon using banana - and other than that a whole lot of silly scams. No advertising, no commerce. At the moment egold is a town without shopfronts, a community with no communications, a movie studio with no trailers or posters. the spend page IS THE SHOP FRONT, POSTER, AND MOVIE-TRAILER of the e-gold universe. Come on, surely one of you market makers will bid more than 200 grams for that ad banner spot? Banana says 200 grams! >> I'm >> talking about THE ABILITY OF EGOLD-USING COMMERCIAL ENTERPIRES, TO >> ADVERTISE TO THE EGOLD COMMUNITY. > >We have no way other than hit or miss.
