That would be very helping, maybe you could give a sample of promo that works for you.
So which of the following?
1. FHGs
- Do you need large-format FHGs? For instance
- Should it be mixed fhg (photo + video) or better separately photo and video? |
those large format FHG's actually look pretty good.

- Do you need desks on fhg?

Descriptions are crucial when it comes to FHG's. The first thing I do when I join a program is grab all their FHGs and import them into my db. However, the majority of FHG's in my db never get listed on my network simply because they have no description or because they have crapy descriptions. FHG descriptions should be tailored to the FHGs. If the girl in the FHG is blond, the description should mention that she's blond. A program with only 10 FHGs with decent descriptions will get more traffic from me than a program with 5000 FHGs with no or crappy descriptions.

2. FLV
- What's most optimal duration of video?
- Any example of most apposite FLV export tool
|
as long as I can export the flv url, title or description, length and a thumb url in either TAB delimited or | delimited format, I'm happy.

3. Feeds
- Any example of most apposite RSS feeds
- Any example of most apposite XML feeds
|
The important thing with rss feeds:
- regular updates (doesn't need to be daily or even weekly, but at least a couple of times / month)
- don't try to be clever: some programs spit out the same content in their rss feeds and simply alter the pubdate. (like dogfart for example)
- content is king when it comes to rss feeds, so don't jsut recycle your fhg descriptions into an rss wannabe feed.

4. Banners
- What are most popular sizes for banners? What do you require?
- Do you need flash banners?
|
see the link I posted

5. Descriptions - Separate desks (about 15-20, short and long) for sites
|

6. FPA/HPA
- Do you need that at all?
|
bigger = better.

Maybe you need any extra promo materials like Pop Up Tools, Corner Peel Advertising, pop-up pages etc.?
Thanks to everyone who'll take the time to answer!

Personally, I'll take a few good FHGs with great descriptions, sites that convert (with no traffic leaks) and may be a couple great banners (that actually get click and don't look like they were made back in 1997) over flashy corner peel ads etc...
