Community Promotion Ads - 2013

What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is Going On Here?

TL;DR -- put images and links in the answers. If they get voted up enough, they will appear on the main site as community promotion ads.

But whyyyyyyy?

This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:

  • cool site-related news
  • the site's twitter account
  • the site's blog
  • cool events or conferences
  • anything else your community would genuinely be interested in

The goal is for future visitors to find out about the stuff your community deems important. And to click on it for great justice!

How does it work?

The answers you post to this question must conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored.

  1. All answers should be in the exact form of:

    [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]

   [1]: http://image-url
   [2]: http://clickthrough-url

    Please do not add anything else to the body of the post. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.

  2. This question must always be tagged with the magic tag.

  • Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)
  • Must be GIF or PNG
  • No animated GIFs
  • Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB

Score Threshold

There is a minimum score threshold an answer must meet (currently 6) before it will be shown on the main site.

You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats here.

  • Did the League one as well. Anyone want ads for anything else? I've got a template set up to do this now. How about Adventure Cycling or even non-bike stuff like Freecycle.org? And how about some more bike advocacy stuff?

  • How about small businesses that are well-regarded by the community? (I'm thinking about The Touring Store and Peter White Cycles.

    Can these be done so the text auto-generates? It'd be nice to have, say, the three most recent blog post titles.

  • I updated the ad with recent post titles instead of general topic text. (It's the same ad otherwise.)

  • I know it's a bit bland/vague but it's a good site to visit for cyclists of the UK.

  • This looks like a good cause. I'd upvote it if the ad made it clear it was about cycling/transportation advocacy in the UK.
