I've got a cute little task reminder service that pokes
you by email to keep on task.
See

(yes we are going to simplify this)
that sends html email and then lets you update directly
to the web page. I need a nice generic ad banner source
that will pay me something, and is FAST. I put
m-yc=mput-er.com banners on it, and during the day it
is slow as mollasses. If I lose the customer on the
first day, I lose his ad revenue forever. So I need
something that serves up fast.
I'm planning to run affiliate programs in text down the
left side, and an ad banner across the top. We won't be
spamming anyone, but we will offer a place at the
bottom to enter your friends email, then we send an
email from you about it (we display the default text
and let them change it.) I'm planning some non-monetary
incentives for viral expansion.
Today was the first day sending this out to the public.
I don't consider it a significant ad revenue source
foir some time yet, but I need people to be used to
banners from the start. I've even thought of displaying
my own Save the Planet- Send Al Gore a Bicycle banners
until traffic builds, but I'm open to more sensible
suggestions.
Also if you can think of something simple that could be
added to it. No java, no rich media. More like
somethign else that we could put on there to ad value
to the customer.
By the way I'm getting so much done now that I have
this, that I don't have to sleep at the office anymore.
