Hey Lynn..I was inspired by your blog advertising special and kicked myself for not trying this on my own web site and/or blog which get 20-40K visitors/month.
How did you decide on the price/advert?
Is their a resource you used or was it a guesstimate?
I did some advertising on my blog- I set the prices by comparing other, similar traffic sites.
I've since discontinued the program in general; I only open up advertising opportunities to those who I "meet" personally. It became a headache to put up and take down the ads each month, change the text, deal with customer service issues, etc.
I think that if your WHOLE MODEL is advertising for that site, it's a good way to go, otherwise it can become a headache.
Thanks for your responses. I like the idea of an annual or 6 month sponsorship however I may have to choose an ad network if I have no takers. Currently using adsense on blog posts however it's not very profitable compared to my main web site which contains less content. I attribute this to blog architecture.
Could be..however adsense earnings are constant and 5x better on the static site than the blog. Only when I add a blog post do I earn from adsense...probably because new content pings the search engines. Maybe I need to test different advertising options.
When I've done advertising, I've set it up as a renewing subscription in paypal so the advertiser gets billed monthly. Now, I don't charge a whole lot for the advertising on the site that I'm referencing, but I've had some advertisers there since 2006 paying month after month and I haven't had to do a thing.
Just another option. I did the month to month and annual, and this worked best for me.
