The idea was to join BioScience community web sites through banner advertising. Banner ads are efficient tool for increasing web site traffic, but only if its well targeted. Unfortunately, non-commercial web sites (such as my lab pages) don't have funds to pay advertising service. Hence I decided to create my own, for free, and only for BioScience web sites. If you want to advertise your achievements, papers, conferences..., I will be happy if you register. http://biobanner.czweb.org/ What is BioBanner about: BioBanner is a free banner exchange advertising system for promoting non-commercial Life Sciences web sites. What does BioBanner offer? If you have a web site, which fulfils our criteria, you can advertise by exchanging banners with our members. As they have the sites of similar orientation, and visitors with similar interests, your advertising will be well targeted. Who can advertise with BioBanner? Any non-commercial site, with content in English language that deals with Life Sciences research or education. Fill out simple form and you can immediately put BioBanner on your site and upload your ad.
