Help us find better advertisers to support PA - Progressive Rock Music Forum

www.btf.it - Italy's best-known mail order company. They have a small but very well-stocked store in Milan (where Micky and I have spent quite a few bucks in the past few months), and they specialise in everything RPI. Their prices are usually cheaper than mainstream stores (we're talking about at least 2-3 euros lower), and their selection is very good.

I think a lot of emerging bands would be interested. I know of one in particular that has been asking.

no problem... was just about to put in order in with BTF.... I'll talk to the head honcho... and see if he has any interest... even with the dollar being ...f**ked in comparison to the euro.. the prices are comparable to what we can get stateside and the selection is great. See if they might want to increase their sales by advertising here. BTF doesn't get a lot of mentions here.. and I love shopping with them.

Progarchives.com is committed to helping progressive rock & related advertisers to benefit from our popularity and traffic. To remain strong and innovative we need to accomodate advertisers.

In the past we have accepted generic advertising, throught networks like Google AdSense and Tribal Fusion. We want to stop using these generic advertisers and offer our traffic to direct banners advertisers with a relationship to prog music.

To replace all the banners and text link ads from generic advertisers from our third-party network, we need to find at least 30 banners advertisers.

So we have create this special package:

30 randomly equally distributed rotative 728x90 banners available for the site and forum
More than 80,000 impressions per month per spot
USD 100$/month per spot
Payments through PayPal, subscribe link at http://www.progarchives.com/about_us.asp#advertise
Ads rotation starts April 1, 2008

	Indeed, it it expensive to maintain, to be the #1 prog rock site we need to: Have a fast and high availability servers for the site, databases (monster 1.5 GB), mp3 Have 1,2 part time webmasters (me and Graphix) for now, we need $ to live Continuously working on the site for improvement, bugs fixing, hacker attack fixin, promotion to have more and more new members, etc... We are also working a new version of the site almost ready to launch. Graphix did a masterful job on it. Completely new code : ASP.net, SQL Server optimization for fast data access, new new new features,... We want and will keep on beign the #1 prog rock website ! I think that if everyone help us we will be able to find those 30 advertisers that will fill out the top banner ads so we can remove the others. I want to hear your opinions... Thanks , Max
	Prog On !
