I look at it more like appealing to two different customers at the same time. You could use the refban code on a page as an example. If the banner appeals to the customer, that is all the better. You could have copy saying something like:
Get paid to show this banner on your site.
No Site? Let us show you how to build a splash page like this one
Then you could have your various links or an email capture. You could market step by step instructions like them signing up to refban, then getting a site and then the instructions for them to build the splash page
I don't feel there's much point in including it in a splashpage..
Their advertising structure is based on targetted traffic so they provide ads that are related to your content.
Which means that the banner ad space itself should not be the main purpose of the page/site and there should
be some actual "content".
In order for it to be properly targetted a member should be on your site for a purpose, then banner ad space
should provide related content on the banner and then if the visitor gets attracted by the ad he may click it
and visit the site that is being currently advertised there. Since it doesn't play a big part for us for it to be clicked
I wouldn't put it at a really important place where I need the visitor to follow a specific process such as joining a
program that I provide details for him. I need him to stay on my site and continue there.
So far, RefBan's admin, doesn't seem to care much if our ads receive clicks or not (like it happens in adhitz)
but they care more about it being targetted which seems to be more important for him.
Also there's this in their T.o.S.:
Quote:Site Content. Referral Banners is a family safe network and as such, we reserve the right to reject any website containing pornography, nudity, sexuality, spam, racist content, copyright infringement, illegal activities or illegal software. This includes (but is not limited to) sites containing adult related products or services. We also reserve the right to refuse any site that redirects to another address, is a get rich quick scheme, has heavy amounts of advertising, contains pop-ups or resizes the browser to fullscreen.
Which means they don't like "banner crop field" sites or redirecting like it usually happens on splash pages.
