I spoke with my friend from WATA and he said that they are open to any idea providing that their webmaster accepts it. So he suggested that Arabeyes makes a few advertising propositions to choose one of them and post it on their site. A banner could be one of them or a sort of blinking link (as the blinking image on their site) saying something like "ØÙØÙÙ ØÙØØÙØÙ". Of course they would much appreciate it if the adds are in Arabic. I am sure that any commitment from their part will be very solid. They are people of genuine good faith. I will convey to them any proposition from Arabeyes and they will choose what suites them best.
