Well I didn't think I'd be "advertising" any time soon but I struck a deal with the owner of Roleplayers Chronicle and The Mystical Throne to redesign his site/link banners in exchange for more-or-less permanent advertising space on his site and a banner on his partner links page so I made up a couple of images to use there.
For the partner link banner I used some of my Docks of Haibianr map, though it's pretty small and hard to see (the thumb is reduced below but you can click it to see a *slightly* larger image). The ad banner is pushing my first planned adventure product. I assume I'll change it when I have something new to push.
I suspect his readership is fairly small at the moment (I believe he just started up RC) but larger than mine, so I've already seen a pretty big jump in traffic to my site. This makes me happy - and makes me wonder if "real" advertising might be worth it at some point. I'd never really considered doing it. Just sharing.
