Thanks for your reply Jeff 
People rarely click on banner adsense ads nowadays. I like this idea for a discourse advertising network. It basically idea of discourse wordpress plugin for posting from wordpress on to discourse. Instead it’s a ad platform for posting to different discourse sites.
Advertiser
Instead of the normal adsense banner ad, It’s a piece of java script you place in like a adsense ad to your discourse site. It shows discussion topics in the discourse style format.
Publisher
- You write a topic to talk or select one from your current discourse site
- You select sites that are relevant to your niches
- You pay the ad fee for those sites
- The sites review those topic
- If topics are accepted by the sites they are published
- All sudden your get emails back about people who talking about your topic!
User
Of course people will click on the ad!
Because for them it looks just the same as normal post topic and it’s about something their interested in!
Bonus
Unlike PPC where you’re just paying for a click and that’s it. You’re now paying for a discussion. You get to talk to your ideal clients. At the end of the day, that’s what advertisiers really want – they don’t want clicks, they want to talk to their ideal clients!
Another bonus for site owners: I’m now getting content and getting paid for it too!
If you had a games forum – what better than having top games company post their latest news on your site for your community to talk about. It’s a win-win Situation for site owners and advertisers!
I’m just trying think of new ways of advertising that doesn’t involve banner ads.
What do you think of this idea?
