Blogads

[Julie]

Do any of you use BlogAds to sell advertising on your sites? I currently have one ad unit set up on one of my sites. I think it is time for me to raise my rates though, as I'm getting more inquiries. What's a good per impression price for a site that gets about 75,000 to 100,000 unique visitors a week?

I was reading about the "hives", and supposedly if you join one, which you have to be approved for... they say you get more advertisers. Is this true? I would think that perhaps you get more exposure as if an advertiser goes to look by category, they'll see yours and know that you had to be approved to get in.. so you meet some kind of standards.

300,000 to 400,000 Uniques per month?!?!?
Way to go girl! Do you need an apprentice?

Yea, its a lot of work, but finally starting to pay off.

Apprentice? If I can get it to earn me more money, I'd like to farm out some of the work on the site eventually.. I need to learn how to monetize and market my damn site though It makes some, but not nearly what it should.

So, um.. yea... I need to learn more about optimizing my blogads and attracting new advertisers.

Impressions is a hard sale in my opinion. If you sale them at a monthly banner price or weekly it's probably more effective.

Just a suggestion, if you want a market place with a lot of eyeballs try Sitepoint market place not bad in my opinion.

Let us know your site, heck we might be interested too lol...
