make direct advertising deals (e.g. with Free-DC)

[Erkan-Yilmaz]

from here:
"Willy de Zutter (BOINCstats webmaster) hasn't replied to our offers for a direct advertising deal (fourth so far) and we never had a direct deal with Free-DC"

1. contact websites (e.g. which make statistics for BOINC users)
2. ask them if they wanna allow advertising

OK, some success here. Willy de Zutter from BOINCstats has responded to my e-mails and he is willing to carry our banner again, but the price is now 550 euros. Quite expensive, but it could be worthwhile (it's been almost a year since our last campaign on BOINCstats).

yep, boincstats should be targeted again this year. next year we might be able to offer freedome of team requirement, but shouldn't wait for that ;)

A new direct advertising deal has been negotiated with BOINCstats. And a corresponding Foundation vote has been created too. Now it's time to show some support with your voting weight :)

Apparently, direct advertising deal with BOINCstats has been rejected by the community. I have arranged another (much cheaper) direct deal with Netsoft, with another corresponding Foundation vote.
