Site Sponsor Change!

[lefton4ya]

Site Sponsors before this week (please correct the order on the site if you remember):
HouseMouseGames.com
WarGamersHeadquarters.com
TrollandToad.com
CoolStuffInc.com
ChaosMediaGames.com
MiniatureMarket.com

Site Sponsors Now:
HouseMouseGames.com
TrollandToad.com
MiniatureMarket.com
Auggie's Games

Also, I am sure that one reason for the give away is to increase site supporters. Is this site hurting for $ to pay its bills or is truth using this site to make up money for all the time he has put in?

So any thoughts or guesses at to why this happened and what it means for Heroscapers.com or the old/new/continuing sponsors, or any explanation by those in the know (i.e. sponsors themselves). If I redid a poll for your favorite online store for Heroscape, would it change because of this?

I remember that WGHQ was right after House Mouse.

I wonder why they aren't there anymore. I like that place.

Huh, WGHQ and coolstuff is surprising though chaosmedia isn't. I'd like to know. Maybe they don't know their sponsorships are up?

CSI has given me great service. If they stop stocking HS, I'm going to cry. A lot.

I doubt you have to worry about that, doctor. Don't be sad. I may even continue to use them...

I'm *very* pleased to see Auggie's name up there, that's terrific.

I just checked CSI. It's all good!

On a seperate note, I've been torn between getting the last two D2 boosters and the Wave 8 Heroes pack and elves pack. Maybe I'll just wait and get them all at once.... Sounds like the best plan.

Auggest was a site supporter for a long, long time before he got front page status. So don't assume he became one just recently.

There are many site sponsors here and I am grateful for all of them. I'm also grateful for the advertisers who are, I'm assuming, spending a little more $$$.

Mega...Those Supporters on the Front Page are different than being a regular Site Supporter.

As for WGHQ,CSI and CMG I belive they all became Site Supporters right around the same time and quite possibly they have not renewed their "contracts" with Heroscapers...either on purpose or because they simply forgot.

Yeah, I knew that. What I mean is that he's been advertising (somewhat) about his site since he became Site Supporter, and only recently his store's link is on the front page.

FYI when you click on a link on this site, Heroscapers is sent as "referrer" to the sponsors which if they have monitoring can tell them how many people/times someone came from this site to theirs. I am unsure how the front page ad is paid, either a flat rate by month/year and/or per-click based on this referrer info; but regardless, if people don't click from this site to theirs they will drop advertising here. On the other hand, if they get too many referrals they might drop advertising here because they think we will still buy from them and they don't have pay as much for advertising. Reasons to drop advertising (in my opinion of most to least likely reason):

• Not making enough money/referrals from Heroscapers.com
• Making too much referrals from this site and want to cut costs
• Forgot to renew sponsorship
• Stopped selling Scape
• Truth decided not to have them advertise for one reason or another
• ???

Seems strange WGHQ would post this weeks before they let their sponsorship expire:

Can they still be sponsors and not be on the front page?
