Welcome! Thank you for coming to the On The Darker Side Banner Exchange I started this exchange to give sites of a dark nature the opportunity to have exposure on other sites of the same nature. This provides a way for you to attract the right visitors to your site, and also when having this banner exchange on your site, you will have banners that compliment your site, and fit your overall theme. This banner exchange is comepletly free! So come on and join! Gain traffic to your site, and help raise the awareness of the dark sites that we all love to visit. All you need to join is a site that deals with darkness, it can be anything from generally dark, evil, metal, poetry, art, horror, gothic, vampire, etc...Theres really no limit as long as it's dark!

Rules to join the On The Darker Side Banner Exchange!
The prefered banner size is 468 x 60, although it is not a strict rule, as long as they are not intrusive, and the file size is not too big. (This Java Script allows non-restricted banner sizes, so your banner will not "squish" to conform to any restrictions) Although bandwidth still needs to be a concideration.
Distorted banners will not be accepted!
Your banner must be uploaded and remain at your server!
Read carefully! The banner URL must lead directly to the banner in your directory, not to a page that the banner is on. In other words it can not end in .html and MUST end in .gif or .jpg!
Banners must be in .gif .GIF .jpg .JPG formats!
Sites must be dark in nature! Anything dark is fine! Evil, horror, metal, gothic, vampire, etc... You get the idea!
Absolutely NO sites that contain porn, warez, illegal MP3's or any other illegal activity will be accepted! Neither will any sites that promote racism, profanity, hate, anything that I see unfit, or if I simply don't like it!!
A small percentage of the banners in the rotation will be by paid advertisers (There are not many, but they may not fit the theme of your site) This is what makes this service free! A small price to pay! Thank you for understanding.
I reserve the right to remove your site for any reason, without prior notice, and will not be responsible for displaying "owed" credits! (I am not unreasonable...but do reserve these rights)
I will not be held responsible for loss or damage or anything else as a result of you using this code on your page!
You will place the code on a visible part of your site, and not in hidden frames, or anything else that is deceitful.
Once given this code you will in no way altar or edit it!
You will not in any way cheat in order to raise your number of exposures!
By filling out this form you agree to these conditions!
These rules may seem harsh, but it keeps quality and integrity to the banner exchange, and insures a better service for you. Furthermore, I am not that strict, most of this is just to protect myself...So just relax and sign up! =)
Instructions!
Once you submit your form, immediately add the code below to your site. I will not set up your account until I see the code!
I will then review your site, and set up your account!
Then I will email you the unique subcodes that will differentiate your banner and statistics, from others in the exchange! You will also recieve the URL where you can check your statistics!Keep this URL!
You will then need to replace all XXXX'a with your 4 digit subcode, and all ZZZZZZZZ's with the longer subcode!This is very important!
You do not have access to edit your account, if you need to make changes they need to be done on our side. Just use the form below, and I will sort things out.
You may place the code on as many pages you wish, therefore increasing the amount of exposures your banner receives. NOTE: Once you place the subcodes I provide for you, you do not need to change any of the code to place it on multiple pages, This is not the case with some banner exchanges!
Although this code may be placed on as many pages as you like, you can only place one to each page, or it will not be accurate!
I will review all sites to make sure the regular codes and your subcodes are placed properly!
If you have any questions you may use the form below, weather it be questions about joining, or questions you have once you are already a member.
Once you have submitted your account information, please immediately copy this code and paste it to your page(s). Once you are given your subcodes through email, you then need to replace all XXXX's with your 4 digit subcode, and all ZZZZZZZZ's with the longer subcode! DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!!!
