IMPROVING POST PROMOTION: Move 'promoted' posts to a vertical sidebar - so that they get more views.

I agree completely. I don't want them to clog the regular feeds, or have them look like a normal post. If they are in the sidebar, they become "invisible" and bearable enough, it's not a too steep price to pay to make the platform attractive to advertisers, IMO.

i think the site is financially powerful enough to operate without external advertisers though, which is i imagine part of why they put the promoted posts on their own page - since the site is going through a 'proof of concept' phase, they maybe wanted to show the site can prosper even without serious paid adverts.
from my perspective, i am just thinking currently of how to get more eyeballs on my posts and it was claimed that promoting the post is a way to do that - but so far, as somewhat expected, it has not really been very effective. i'm not sure how long the promotion even lasts!
