The Book of Ads - Your Ad 7 YEARS for US$ 0,95!

thebookofads.com · 01-17-2006, 04:49 PM

Hello,

On monday the 9th, I launched a website which took me over two months to do.
this is: http://www.thebookofads.com

What do you think about the design, concept, and overall impression?

Thanks.

Comments would be very much appreciated!.

Guillermo.

Yet another million dollar homepage-esque site.
I wish people would come up with completley original ideas rather than adapting other people's.

The design is plain and the font used in some places is hard to read.
And in some places the white on silver is impossible to read.

Overall: 4/10.

So you don't think this is a completely different Idea? Tell me, what are the similaritudes, because, maybe you know more than me about how it all works on the site..

hi,

abit hard to read the white text on the white header. seems very wordy for me but maybe thats the nature of the site.

pretty standard layout. not much comments on that.

good luck.

The site is more or less just another MDH copy, but with the ads laid out in a book rather than a pixel grid.

Also, multiple accounts are not allowed, if you are also bpeh. The mods can check IP addresses.......

hah, another MDHP copy, Nice try!

1) this site is based on a book
2) a max. of 26 spaces are displayed per page
3) pages appear randomly when visiting and or refreshing the site by hovering over the header.
4) images are 225x25 px big
5) advertisements will be at least 7 years online
6) If successful, I will most likely publish a book in which I can reflect Internet's History.

So if by copy you mean that I offer "Online Advertising" then there are millions of copies, going from Google, Yahoo, MSN, Clickbanner, Primaryads, Fastclick, or Adbrite to name a few.

Oh, and I'm sorry to dissapoint you - by not being "bpeh" - were you trying to prove any point? - from the mere two posts you've "contributed" to this thread I cannot say any other than: "have you got any problem?" Because it certainly seems so.

To Bpeh:

Thanks for your comment, I'll ask some other people to see how they see the header. So that I get a suggestion based on a considerable amount of people.
Thanks again.

I was just giving my honest review of what I thought the site was like. No need to be cocky.

And someone making one post in a thread, trying to make a site look good, is rather suspicous.
