"THE MAD BANNER CHALLENGE IS OVER - THE WINNERS ARE..."

Okay, so the mad banner challenge is over. I think big respect needs to go out to everyone who managed to create decent banners and keep them under 15k! Anyway the winning banners that we have decided to put up on the site are:


UKCheats Banner - ("Whipped by Wario...") - By Armitage Shanks
http://www.fuji-image-service.fsnet.co.uk/ukcheats/mariocheats/15kad.gif

Maxx PC Banner - ("Loading...") - By Turbonutter
http://www.imagics.f2s.com/maxx.gif

GB Advance Banner - ("GB Advance + hands...") - By Er-no
http://www.er-no.fsnet.co.uk/banner1.gif

Notables Election Banner - ("Who will be the sixth notable...") - By Er-no
http://www.er-no.fsnet.co.uk/banner2.gif


These banners have been put up on the site to see how well they do. All of the clicks are monitored by our admin system which can tell us who clicked on it, so don't even think about clicking your own banner hundreds of times!
Also we need these banners to be genuinely successful to make this a proper marketing exercise, as sometimes the banners can look amazing but it doesn't mean anyone will click on them... (trust me on this one..!)

Any of the above banners that reach 0.5% click through in the first week will win a Filmaday prize, and if both of Er-no's banners reach over 0.5% than he can claim a Gameaday prize.

Anyway, Thanks and well done to everyone who took part.

Cheers.

What is the point in trying. This was my best effort ever at a gameaday, also my best chance, and I didn't even get through the first round. And whats more is that you chose people who have already GAD at least once. I thought my banners were pretty good, and I'm sure others will agree. Oh well. Well done to those who qualified. Looks like we won't see any more GAD attempts from me. But ill still be here, don't forget.

Congrats,

What about my GetDotted 2? I thought that was better than the MAXX PC one.

We have now chosen some banners that we like and they are currently being added to our banner pool. The selected banners are:

GBA Hands (er-no)
Notable Election (er-no)
UKcheats (Armitage Shanks)
MAXXPC (turbonutter)

Provided these banners achieve the click through rate that Tony set out in the original message you will win a prize.

Banners will start appearing shortly.

There is a new getdotted banner up at me site.

There is a new getdotted banner up at me site.

There could be a reason to why this is, and it is to do with $HTTP_REFERER. I've no idea as to why it should be, but it could be.

§w¡§µ man... If you like... I can stick your banners up into my web space?

Yes, I was quite please with those two. Oh, well, I didn't spend/waste much time on them anyway.

I think your Maxx Pc's and Get Dotted 2 are good.

These are all so much better than mine...
