NOTE: This is the User Guide for the Quest for the Ring (QFTR) site as a whole. For User Guides for Reports that have a lot of performance measures in them, see the QFTR Reference page.

WARNING: Since QFTR has been almost exponentially expanding the variety of resources it produces from 2007 through the present (2011) some specific QFTR Site User Guide articles that are older than about 1 1/2 years old are often going to be only partially relevant. QFTR would like to but can not guarantee that we can update all of the most important User Guide articles once a year. When a User Guide article is updated the older one is deleted except that a link to the new version may be installed as opposed to complete deletion.

Free Advertising Program

FREE ADVERTISING PROGRAM
The depression, or recession, or great heist, or whatever it is, means that we should work together, or else we will sink together. Therefore, the Quest is offerring free display advertising on this site until at least June 30, 2010. The program is for anyone who has a basketball related product or service. If the free program is not extended beyond that date, we will be offerring advertising at extremely low rates. The free display ad program is currently limited to four advertisers, on a first come first serve basis. Each advertiser gets 6 months free though if we think your product or service is especially important we will extend that indefinitely.

This program is not for large corporations; it is intended for small enterprises, especially newer ones. Nor is this program for those already affiliated with a major internet commercial site, such as ebay.

To advertise for free, email a request giving your web address and some basic information about your product or service. If you get approved, we will email you back. You will be approved unless you don't really have a basketball product or service, or unless you are a big company, or unless you are already getting a large amount of traffic. After you are approved, you can email your ad. Your ad should be sized to fit either in the User Guide or the right column. For User Guide ads, the width should be close to but nor more than 675px. The height should be 100px maximum. For sidebar ads, the maximum size is 240px by 240 px. We will even make a simple but nice looking ad for you if you want.

The email address to use is nuggets1nuggets@gmail
