[consulting] Drupal.org advertising proposals requested

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

I think one way to start this is to offer Google Adsense on Drupal.org.
Google text ads are not intrusive and clearly marked as ads.
Companies interested in advertising can click "advertise on this site"
and Google automatically handles the back end for the Association.

This can be done for an experimental period (e.g. 2 months) and then
reevaluated.

This serves the main goals of this experiment: expose service providers
to visitors, and raise money for the association.

It also relieves the Association from the decisions on what ads to run,
and all the potential complaints about that. It will be Google's algorithms
that are deciding what ads to run in an auction style ad system.

Still the downside, whichever way we do it, is that big shops with big
bucks can drown out the smaller shops who do not have a large advertising
budget.

The Google Adsense module can be used for this. It offers blocks of
different sizes/channels, and blocks can be made to appear on certain
paths only if needed.
