Would you be interested in having affiliates from a network that are updated by a curator, as well as a place to keep track of how many hits you are getting? They would also be able to fit in line with other affiliates. Using a CSS Stylesheet and Jcink redirects i've created a mock up of the model, and it will fit seamlessly alongside other affiliates. If you look at animangads.boards.net/ the first two affiliates are using this model to show an example*. What you do not see is that there are two additional button codes that are hiding, but they already have boards I can turn into redirect links. When it comes time to ad an affiliate I just have to update a background image and set the jcink redirect feature to the desired site. If I were to make something more than a model, i'd leave room for about 100 slots, which is about double what animangads has ever had affiliated to it at one time. The big deal breaker is that I can't think of a way to generate something like hover text by pure css, I don't think it would be possible to update the title across a bunch of sites. *The one that you see on the hover for Tutorialists I added manually because I made them part of my experiment without asking. This is a second site employing the same sheet massafftest.boards.net/page/testIn my mock up I used an old wip site of mine, you can see how the redirect is keeping track of hits by checking there (just scroll past the expired cbox). glowofafirefly.jcink.net/index.phpIf you'd like to see that it works you could link this code to a test forum. This goes in the head of the forum. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/rsek12kdka65gdf/massaff.css"> This goes wherever you want the affs to go. <a href="http://glowofafirefly.jcink.net/index.php?showforum=36"><div class="site1"></div></a> <a title="forum tutorial directory" href="http://glowofafirefly.jcink.net/index.php?showforum=37"><div class="site2"></div></a> <a href="http://glowofafirefly.jcink.net/index.php?showforum=37"><div class="site3"></div></a> <a href="http://glowofafirefly.jcink.net/index.php?showforum=37"><div class="site4"></div></a>
