I’ve opened a new website using Pligg software, to see how it works. The site is called The Ads Broker and it allows users to advertise text links, banner ads, or other sorts of advertising, including free exchanges. There are three categories, Exchange, Buyers Seeking Ad Space, and Ad Space for Sale.

Pligg is a ’social bookmarking’ enabled content management system (CMS), so people can rate offers, comment on them, even comment on comments. The Ads Broker site does not allow postings from spam sites, or for gambling or other non-family-friendly type sites.

Check it out, and post an offer. It is a free link to your website, and may bring in advertisers if you are seeking to monitize. I’m not expecting a lot of action in the ‘Buyers Seeking Ad Space’ category, but if you have special needs — like a particular type of site to advertise on (for SEO purposes), it might be the way to find the right sort of ad space.

UPDATE: The above site was removed. The amount of monitoring required to delete spam was more than the effort was worth. I created the site mostly to try out Pligg and see what it did — it works fine, but you need a large and vigilant community before installing it, or the spammers will just move in and make it unattractive for real users. I’ve replaced it with a blog that posts current news and other information about the advertising industry.
