Okie dokie, here's the whack.......

Of late, we have been taking constant requests from our webmasters for special and different sized banners for many of our sites.

As those who made the request would know - those banners have been supplied and are now available in the Curious Cash members area for all to use!

So for webmasters of ours who want something different, or those who have some time to kill and are good at the banner design game (or even if you are not and need the practice !), we are now asking you to design some banners for any and/or all of our sites and submit them to Curious Cash to win !!!

The winner of the best banner (as decided by Webmaster Dan) will receive $100.00.

[/I]But here is the best thing.....[I]

If you submit banners, and we decide to use any/or all of the ones you submit, for any and/or all of our sites, we will pay you for EACH one of them !!
* $5.00 per static banner
* $7.50 per animated banner or half page advertisement
* $10.00 per flash banner or full page advertisement

So what's the catch? ONLY Curious Cash Affiliates are eligible to win and/or be paid, but REMEMBER, just by joining you get an entry into our Webmaster of the Year competition - a free trip to Syndey Australia for the 2005 Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras !! If you are a webmaster from the Southern Hemisphere you can even elect to swap that for a trip to Florida Internexxt 2005! You do NOT have to send ANY joins to stay in the draw!!

Alright. So what has the best chances of getting selected so you get paid for your work ?

Let me give up some hints....

Insider Tip #1 What sites should I do banners for? We have quite a few new sites, banners are a bit thin on the ground for them, but yet again maybe some of the more established sites could use some new ones.... check out our current banner list, find some areas you think could be added or done better, but remember, others may think the same... Hmmmmm. Basically, it doesn't matter WHICH sites you do, if your submitted banners cut the mustard, they will be selected and you WILL be paid. Do what suits you best out of our 22 sites !

Insider Tip #2 Should I do static banners, or maybe animated or flash? We have NO flash banners presently. Go figure. We have a few animated, but maybe your angle is better? If you do static, maybe clean and simple is better than bright and busy... again, be creative as there are NO limitations here either.

Insider Tip #3 What sizes should I concentrate on? Now on this we can give some more specific hints on how to best maximize the return on your effort ! We do specifically NEED banners in 120 x 60, 500 x 80, 480 x 80, 120 x 180, 125 x 200. For half pagers go with 400-500 x 200-300. For full pagers go with 600-700 x 400-500. Odd size banners and verticals and buttons are also encouraged. If you submit "standard" banners they would usually be 468 x 60 or 468 x 90. Do what would suit you, but bear this in mind to ensure you make top bank.

Insider Tip #4 We need LOTS of new banners, so there is NO limit on how many you can submit or how many we will pay you for! The more the merrier.
