Ask YC: Who wants one month of free advertising space on Simplebucket.com
The YC community has helped me in many ways getting things done with excellent advice and suggestions. So I thought what better way to give back to the community other than offering one month's of free ad space.
You can see the ad space at http://www.simplebucket.com/explore
Add a comment here with your startup url and a brief description of what your startup do and the comment with the most points get the spot. How this?
*oh, I forget to add, I will reserve the right to select the next highest comment if the winner is a competing startup (ie. photo hosting ), I hope you understand.
I'm surprised nobody else has responded here. Even if the traffic is miniscule and sucks, appearing as though your ad space is filled or partially filled can be a benefit, so its a good idea what you're doing.
My company is still in Alpha and doesn't fully work yet, but oh wells, I don't care. Didn't PG say to release a bare working version asap and "starting with a very crude version 1, then (f) iterating rapidly." I have a very early version of the app up on myspace.com/socialholdem -> check the app details for what I'm adding soon to make it competitive to the others. Right now its me and a friend is doing graphics. Or link to my blog if you want, because my app doesn't save the chips permanently to the database: outrunpoker.com/blog. Apps don't make crap for money, but its a way for me to get something going to be able to offer the service that I want, which is paid subscription based internet gambling, which is legal. From that approach, I can improve and grow from there. I know there is alot of room in the internet gambling field, especially with all the new changes in the web 2.0 world and cheaper bandwidth, etc. Someone can create a company that can compete with the big guys by changing the way it is advertised. Every new person I meet in the future, I will have a better story to tell than the one I am telling here. And so on...
Good luck to you.
