Hi Gavin,
We are considering two different payment structures. €0.50 per signup in the free period followed by 30% per premium signup.
In fairness, if you read my original post, we are not looking to partner with the mega players such as yourself, but rather other small sites such as ourselves, with say 100,000 to 200,000 page views per month. I reckon that it would be a low risk exercise for other sites like ours to band together for an appropriate banner swop. Many of the smaller sites (see other posts on this forum) are only generating less than €50 per week from their current affiliate partners. I'd have no problem paying up front to match that in the early days to remove the risk factor
When I researched the cost of getting a "professional" to get us up to critical mass I was quoted between €3k and €6k!!!! The figures just don't work!
Many of the online advertising agencies won't talk to anyone with less than 500,000 PV per month ( See discussion post by me in these forums a week or so ago).
I really think that there is a niche for someone suitable to set up an ad agency aimed at groups of smaller site in Ireland.
Kind regards,
Stuart
