Game Maker Blog

Update 19th December – I am no longer looking for new registrations having already had around 20.

For the next stage of my plan for World Wide Web domination (in the GameMaker sector anyway) I need to conduct some research.

I have been experimenting over the past couple of months with different banners in my signature at the Game Maker Community. I even added an avatar, of a female, to see if this would have any effect on the response rates of my ads. However I need more data. Therefore I am looking for volunteers.

Now, don’t think this is a begging message asking for your help in exchange for nothing, it isn’t. So much so that I am willing to pay you to post at the GMC in exchange for you placing an image like the one below into your signature.

A simple, static but dynamic 361 pixels wide by 73 pixels high banner. The banners will be used to promote the Game Maker Affiliation Service which I feel needs a good promotional kick to get more members registered.

So far as I am aware this does not violate any of the signature rules as no reward is being given for clicks on the banner, only for the placement.

There will be limited places available, but I would like to both collect data and get more people familiar with the service. I am particularly interested in members who are frequent posters in both the Community and Website Announcements sections of the forum. I am also looking only for members who have been at the GMC for at least 6 months. If you think you fit the criterion then get in touch.
