Clicktrade Study: a public display of click trade partners

PDA = public display of advertisers
Not to be confused with personal digital assistants or public display of affection

This is a prospective study of Click Trade partnerships. Making good web sites on good web servers requires money, but is there a way to be reimbursed for your time and cost of making a quality web site without a company to support you? Well, we are testing out this possibility with click trade. There are many webmasters who have asked us about the benefits of linking their web site with advertisements. We will try to answer that by using this page and reporting the results on the same page. Bookmark this page to follow our progress. Let's see if it is worth the effort. We will publicize our results on a weekly basis. As an added feature, we've included the amount that other webmasters are willing to pay to advertise their sites, and we've also included their comments to us. If you are a webmaster, you can compare your rates with ours. This list is valuable because we have found that most advertisers change their payout rates.

This site serves to advertise our sponsors, since most of them are not listed on our main pages; thus please visit them since they want to be visited. We have included the descriptions that they have specified at their home pages; however we have purposely omitted any banners since we did not want to bias your visits based on visual stimuli.

Please visit our newly created forum to discuss web commerce and advertising. Make this your discussion group. Who will be the brave soul to post first?

We hope that this page has been an educational experience.
