Sponsorship allows paid linktypes. The average site would generally have 2 types: a variety of free link types and a sponsorship link types. WSN perfectly accomodates this, however to have free, sponsorship AND paid link types I believe we need to include a choice for the default origtype once the paid term has expired.
Here is an idea of what I mean using 3 types of linktypes.
-------------------------------------------------------
FREE - basic listing with no expiry
PREMIUM - paid listing (includes detail page) valid for 1 year - without paid renewal reverts to FREE link type
SPONSORED - priority listing at the top of categories above all other link types - purchased in weekly/monthly time periods and after funds expire it will revert back to origtype.
-------------------------------------------------------
Possible idea to accomplish this.
Include a revert to linktype choice box using the comma as a separator for the different possiblities for each linktype... for example using the 3 linktypes mentioned above (free, premium, sponsored) the Link Type Promotion would have the following fields completed.
Sponsor Link Type: [Sponsored,Premium]
Item Number: [1,2]
Incrimental Fee (in USD): $ [30,30]
Deduct the incrimental fee every [30,365] days
Revert to this linktype when funds expire: [origtype,free]
So the Sponsored linktype is product #1, charged $30 US and expires in 30 days, after which it will expire to the origtype it was before sponsorship.
While the Premium linktype is product #2, charged $30 US and expires in 365 days, after which it will expire to a FREE linktype unless renewed.
