Hi All --- We've always wanted to present a CG site with no internal advertisements that distract from the art work and clutter user portfolios.  But, to run the site we obviously need a revenue stream. 

We've been toying with the idea of offering large companies an opening road block 30 second video on entrance to the site.  This would only be experienced by each entrant once in every 24 hours.  In exchange for this, the site would be Ad free.  We would also re design the site so that the unused space would be converted to editorial, like software reviews and 'the making of' etc. that would give users more relevent CG oriented information.

I need your feedback!  Would this type of concept work for you, or would you not tolorate the 30 second per day inconvenience?  We don't want to discourage users from visiting the site, but we do want to present a better user experience when users arrive.

Please let me know your thoughts on this idea.  We won't take any action until we hear from our users.

Thank you very much!
