Since the ads on k5 are coming "soon", there's a feature I'd really like to see implemented before it goes live.
Yes, I've mentioned it before, on k5. Let us buy more than one ad at a time.
Since rusty said he was thinking about a $12 minimum purchase, just so he doesn't have all income eaten up by CC processing fees, I'd like to be able to buy 4-5 different ads at the minimum run (say it's 1000, at $3/1000, as mentioned on k5) and pay for them all at once. I don't want to spent $12 on just one ad right away, nor do I want 4-5 transactions on my CC on the same day for multiple instances of essentially the same thing.
Since scoop.k5 doesn't require payment for ads, I can't see if you can submit an ad right to the end, the create another one, and then pay for both at once. (Not that I'm saying you should start charging for ads here, though ;-)
Eventually, I'd like to see impressions and ads separated, so I could, for example, buy $30 of impressions, then assign them to ads as I saw fit. For example, I want to try out 4-5 different ads at the minimum number of impressions, then when they're almost expired, put the rest of the impressions on the most successful (or on a new ad, which I can make identical to the most successful, if altering the number of impressions for a running ad is too complicated). Minimizing the number of CC transactions will help everybody except the CC companies :-)
