basil trade advertising

It's quite difficult to sell stuff on basil now so I was thinking if the basil
team could think of a way to let you advertise your items for a fee of mesos.
The mesos could be used for basil events etc...

[quote=TheTrickst3r]It will take a bit of re-organising of the homepage but I think I thought of a way of 'random' advertising.
Just like the threads on the homepage, different(random) item logos of items being sold at the moment
could be displayed in different sections e.g common, warrior, mage etc and then into sub-sections(cape, ring
weapon, mastery book etc.)
The item logos however don't redirect you to a specific trade but shows all the trades of that item.
Since item logos are quite small, there could be about 20 in each box.
New items can be shown everytime the homepage is refreshed or when someone visits it again.
The now empty last minute auction box can be filled with random but most wanted items that are
open for trade. It took a bit of thinking but I think this will be better than my first idea.
Now the poor can benefit too [/quote]

I don't think that's a bad plan. Maybe it'd limit auction sniping as well. I like it. Lots of people navigate around the site using the homepage only.

Yeah I agree, what about my second idea?

[quote=TheTrickst3r]I meant advertising as in pictures on the homepage but yes the poor will struggle.
But i'm just saying that there should be a way to do this. I'll try to think of a way
this could be done fairly.[/quote]

Right, I'm (honestly) curious about your ideas.

[quote=Pavchka]That'd be somewhat inpractical and elitist if you ask me (be rich, have an even bigger chance of making money through advertising than the poor guy who can't afford to advertisements).
The site doesn't have a direct link to the game, so it couldn't be done through an in-game function. Paying moderators or the admin in game would be tricky. We're not so easy to contact in game- many of us have quit and I myself am currently inactive because of crazy loads of homework.

The site's already advertising your items; I see there are Green Powder, Red Powder, a Grey Bell Robe and a Red Elephant Balloon on your list. Do you mean advertising as in pictures?[/quote]
