Blog advertising?
After reading about it here I really started thinking:
- 1. Do I need advertising?
- 2. What are the benefits of it?
- 3. Would anyone be even interested in advertising on my blog?
- 4. How much is in it for me?
- 5. What sort of factors are appealing to a possible advertiser?
1.: Well, not really. But if the ad isn’t that huge it could easily be placed in the right hand menu (see the two examples “your ad here” I placed at the top and at the bottom of the right hand menu) - and who would complain about some extra cash to at least cover hosting and maybe something extra?
2.: Obviously money…anything else?!
3. + 4. : Well, I guess I’m going to find out as soon as I contacted Jeremy
5.: That is one thing I don’t know either (yet). I guess it’s the standard stuff, number of visitors, number of impressions, PR, etc
Now I’ll go ahead and contact Jeremy…I’ll keep you updated :-)
My answers:
1. Nope I don’t need advertising.
2. Money
3. I think so
4. Around USD40 a month (more sometimes).
5. Relevance, the viewership you’re getting, and obviously all the web analytics stats.
Anyway, I’m buzzing Jeremy with an email too. BlogAds ads aren’t very nice because they have big pictures. I’d prefer text ads.
Well, I guess you should have no problem getting new ads for your blog!
It might be a whole different matter with my blog, but I’m still hoping - if Jeremy can really start something like his own blog-ad-network (or something of that kind - selling blog ads on numerous blog) there might be hope even for “smaller blogs” (like mine)…
