Scisors Paper Stoned

I’m being stoned cold by this concept by www.headforthetop.com of letting the advertisers play and bid to be the top spot of the advertising ranking.Their concept may be quirky as Virgin itself, but I don’t know if the advertising agency will try do this for a change. They have alot to worry with PPP as already a shocking concept that works, and now this?

I’m gonna try myself with the skills and luck. Cos eventually, I’m after some freebie!

Text or Image based adverts can be placed on the site, and each is placed in a box. Each advert also has a service or product description, and a link. Free boxes which just contain text can also be added which compete with the advertisements. Each box is assigned (user choice) either rock, paper or scissors. The advertisements are then launched from the bottom of the screen, and head for the top, hence the sites name. When their progress is blocked by another box, they play rock paper or scissors. The winner gets to proceed. And the looser gets relaunched if its an advertisement, or is deleted if its a free box. Its a novel idea designed to attract interest to the pixel advertising style of website. The fact that the casual user is able to play against the adverts is the clincher, because this focuses the interest on the advertisements which on most sites would be ignored. Realising the uniqueness of the idea, the designer has had the idea patented. At the moment there is a one off fee, based on size, which buys you an Advertisement lasting a year or more.

And I’m being nice by leaving this post here. As an info..and a rant of me.
