It struck us that whilst the long tail of music and long tail of books etc had been firmly established on the internet - no-one yet seemed to have produced a site that harnessed the power of the web for the Long Tail of Advertising Space.

 So the idea firmly behind AdBasement.com is that small companies and individuals can bypass the big advertising agencies to buy or sell advertising space. New whacky opportunies for advertising open up. So what do mean by the long tail of advertising? Well just to get you thinking out of the box - here is our gallery of some crazy examples we have found on the web…

 Canine Advertising

Advert On Head

Cow

Vollyball Advertising

Wall

Bag

Denver Water

Web Ad Space

Boat

Got an idea for some whacky ad space you can offer?

List it on AdBasement.com

Why not do something similar and list some whacky advertising on www.adbasement.com with our new “Whacky Ad Space” category!

 So for example - I will drive round Kent for the rest of 2009 with your business advert on my Suzuki Jimney 4×4 - you provide JPG artwork - I’ll do the rest!

Exactly like Mr Fischer I will accept any brand name or logo, however just like him “I wouldn’t go around with a swastika or anything racial. Other than that I wouldn’t promote anything socially unacceptable such as adult websites or stores.”
