selling direct advertising on my site

[angel-eyes99]

I hope this is the right forum :-) I received an email from a company wanting to advertise on my site. I do know that advertisers require some kind of "accounting" for page/advertisement views. Any recommendations on those? Also .. they wrote: "... We are interested in advertising on your site for both traffic and branding purposes. Please write back with a proposal with 'beyond the banner' exposure opportunities." I'm not sure how to interpret 'beyond the banner' exposure opportunities. What should I think about when writing a proposal? Any help is appreciated, thanks! Angel Eyes99

Sounds to me like they want to sponsor the majority of your site. Good luck!

They obviously want to place ads on your site outside of the 468 x 60 banner. Think text links, logo placement (for branding), sign-up form for their services, co-branded content.
