Greetings, first of all, let me introduce ourselves: BlinkingDot Software is a group of RPG enthusiasts writing a 3D roguelike for Windows. We are working together since July and, whilst spending about 90% of our time on the game, also decided to put up a website that deals with the genre in general. One of the biggest problems we all face is to get our efforts known on the web. The big game sites don't deal with independent developers, the only place to get news out to the public is Roguelike news. We came up with an idea that is neither new nor extremely special, but we think our implementation of this idea is something that could help us all: A banner exchange. Stop :-). Before you think: nah, tried that, didn't work, let me explain why the one we run is different. First: Our banner exchange is strictly for RPG related banners only. Second: it is, of course, free. Third: it ONLY shows banners of RPG sites and ONLY on other RPG sites. No ads, no intention to make money with it. Fourth (and probably most important): While most other exchanges give you a 2:1 ratio (your banner gets shown for every two other banners shown on your site), the RPG banner exchange gives you a 1:1 ratio. We think this banner exchange would be a great way for all of us to get traffic from and send traffic to other sites that deal with RPG's/roguelikes. To make this banner exchange a success for all members, we invested some money in a professional system that is hosted on our server. As a member you will be able to see the exact amount of shows and views, the click through rate your banner received and more vital statistics. And if you ever had a banner for linkexchange - you can use/reuse it with RPG Banner exchange, since our banner size is 468x60 pixels (and they are limited to 15k to make them laod fast). We invite you to take part in our banner rotation. Once again: it is free, it is fair and - I think - a good way to promote our sites. If you wish to join, you can go to our site http://blinkingdot.com and sign up there. However, if you have questions, please feel free to contact us at office@blinkingdot.com Regards, Bernhard Rems BlinkingDot Software
