The Re-Auction is a twist on sidebar advertising. As you might expect it involves displaying an ad to your site in a 125×125 pixel format over in the right hand sidebar. Instead of directly selling or renting these ad spaces I’m going to auction them off to the highest bidder through eBay.com. As the winning [...]
