How about this for an idea???

[UKBusinessLive]

Say you have a site where members download stuff for free, Or play your arcade for free, its a brilliant idea to keep members interested, but how about getting them to do something for you for a change, something that may enable you to generate a commision for all your troubles.

The idea is a delayed redirect, stopping on a page for XX seconds before going to the page that they want, be it the arcade or downloads.

So how would it work???

You have a link or tab set up to take your members to the arcade for example, But instead of going right to the arcade it goes to an alternative url, like one with banners or some sort of advertising on, with a small counter at the bottom, saying "This page will re-direct to the Arcade in 10 seconds" together with a countdown timer which counts back the seconds.

When it reaches zero, the page re directs to the Arcade.

That way members will be able to view your banners links and advertising, that they probably wouldn't do in the first place, so the probability of getting some clickthroughs via you ads has increased.

I guess the idea would be better suited for Guests and non registered members and showing them ads prior to going on a page that they want would definately get them to register.

Would something like this work?? I've done a search in the mods forum and couldn't find anything similar
