Johnvertisements

Johnvertisements! Because marketing via john™ has never been easier before.

I first stumbled onto johnvertisements when I visited the page of metamuffin (they have also created their own version called meta adservice not to be confused with its beloved silicon valley sibling , so check it out).

If you want to learn more about what johnvertisements are and how they work I suggest reading more about it on raven’s website, but the jist is that silly people can submit silly images that link to silly pages. These silly images can then be displayed at random on the webpages of silly individuals, by emmbeding a bit of silly code. It’s a bit silly, but also plenty of fun.

Sadly I dont know if johnvertisement is the first type of this “people driven ad-banner” service or how deep the lore of joke-advert-banners goes. Besides johnvertisements and the previously mentioned meta adservices, there are a lot more of these “services” available. Here are some examples:

• johnvertisement: Ads for anything realy (mostly person websites), horizontal layout
• meta adservice: Similar to johnvertisements, but FOSS and with proper image compresion
• Nav Links: Ads for personal websites, square layout
• Ring Link: Navlink for webrings
• Side Links: Similar to johnvertisements, but with vertical banner layouts (thank you so much)
