Dear subscriber,
November has been a big month for Bannerblog, as we welcomed the first of our advertising partners, Eyeblaster Inc. The partnership with Eyeblaster is a near perfect fit for us, since many of the campaigns featured on Bannerblog were created and deployed through Eyeblaster across the world.
Read more about it here including our commitment to donate 25% of all revenue to charity.
Speaking of chairty Ashley has been growing a moe for the last 3 weeks and there's still time to donate some money for Movember. All donations are tex deductable and the money go towards issues with Men's Health.

November also saw the introduction the Job Board. Over the past 12 months the site has developed into thriving resource for the creative community and with traffic reaching 40k unique users a month, we figured a jobs board is a natural fit.
We’ve got jobs listed for Ogilvy, DDB, RMG Connect and Glue just to name a few - we even have a position for a Online General Manager at Foxtel.
Still think we’re missing a few bells and whistles? Not Web 2.0 enough for you? Send us your suggestions!

Using a microphone as input, you get to "blow" all over the stunning young lady, and remove her unfeasibly limited clothing in the process.
And as the site points out, “despite the cold - size matters. You need broadband for the best experience”
