What are Community Promotion Ads?

Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.

Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?

This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:

  • the site's twitter account
  • useful tools or resources for home improvement
  • interesting in-site activities and events
  • cool events or conferences
  • anything else your community would genuinely be interested in

The goal is for future visitors to find out about the stuff your community deems important. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are relevant to your own community's interests, both for those already in the community and those yet to join.

How does it work?

The answers you post to this question must conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored.

    Please do not add anything else to the body of the post. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.

  2. The question must always be tagged with the magic tag.

  • I don't know any other sites that support us so I don't know what to do about that, but I've got a couple of ideas for this site. Does the ad need to say diy or Home Improvement or do I just do it?

    @lqlarry It just needs to be about home improvement (the artform, not the site), or at least interesting to you and your colleagues. These ads will be shown on your own site, so unless it's something like the Twitter account (which is associated with but external to DIY here), you don't need to include our site in the advert.
