You know FWIW, I don't think that ad on the front page of http://www.goldmoney.com is really an "ad". Banana did not pay for that ad (as far as I know, and I own Bananagold!) If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Turk was just so excited and happy to be able to buy stuff from Amazon using GoldMoney that he just stuck that logo on the front of his web site. (A bit like Jim kindly put Bananagold in special "very large" spot on the e-gold directory page.) I'm glad Geoff Turk did. And he should. If say Ford Motor Company suddenly started accepting GoldMoney for Ford cars, I think that every single page of the entire GoldMoney website should be replaced with nothing but 200-point blinking red type saying "God in heaven! Ford Motor Company now accepts GoldMoney!!" :-) Unless I've forgotten one, [with the usual exception of HYIPs], the following are the sum total of broad-interest GBC-related commerce sites On The Internet: * magazine depot (buy any magazine subscriptions with egold) * metal proxy (buy anything from barnes & noble with egold) * bananagold (buy anything from amazon with egold) * thegoldcasino (casino games accounted in grams of egold) * tarasvirtualstudio (I partially jest: but porno is of course the biggest commerce sector on the 'regular' web, so its significant for egold, too) * xodds (clever 'fixed odds' financial market instruments) That's 6. I WISH there were 5 or 10 or 15 more "things" that were so significant they were worth advertising on GBC sites, or indeed, worth slapping on the front page of any GBC out of sheer joie de vivre. In all events, this wonderfully arcane argument is pretty academic because of the simple fact that in all likelyhood, Bananagold will cease to exist, as I can't be bothered paying for it forever. Of the six sites listed above, thegoldcasino.com has, I imagine, unlimited funds for banner ads, xodds possibly could run some, and Banana has a budget of like "$200" to run some. You just KNOW that e-gold will be too weird to allow TGC to run banners once e-gold starts running banners, and my $200 for Banana will be gone in a flash! So all it comes down to is maybe xodds will run some. (It goes without saying that the HYIPs probably won't be allowed to put ads on either egold or GM) Anyway, regarding ads generally, all the market makers (fortunately) carry banner ads, so that's probably the "second best" place for anyone to advertise ... not that there is anyone to advertise! The whole GBC universe seems pretty grim when you look at it this way! First, Julian Dibbel from Wired figures out (perhaps correctly? who knows) that 99.9999% of e-gold activity is "hyips" and programs and ponzi schemes, Doug and Ian are utterly pointlessly suing each other, Parker's computers are worked-over by the Feds, everyone is offended and sickened by Commercial Logos seen on GBC sites, every second credit card charge at market makers is a fraud, all the spends on e-gold are mysterious microspends anyway that no-one will own up to, Jim can say nothing officially about anything at all ever, no-one else from e-gold says anything at all, OmniPay's still holding on to Ricogold's million bucks waiting for everyone to uh forget about it, and all the LGD bars that e-gold are storing for e-gold users are underweight anyway!!!
