Lowering no-follow text ad prices
by Sapphire (January 16, 2008)
No-follow text ads on this site are half-off through February ($7.50 for a 30 day homepage link; other pricing options available). Figured I’d make like a retail store and have a “50% off After the Holidays Sale.” They appear in the sidebar, just under the 125×125 ads.
Speaking of which, the 125×125 ads are still $10/4 weeks or $3/week.
You want to buy an ad. You know you do. You want to buy an ad. You are getting sleepy. You are clicking the button. You are buying the ad. When you wake up, you will remember only that you’re very excited about your new ad…
Oh, c’mon, somebody had to try internet hypnosis sooner or later! ![]()

This post is very important, yet I bet a ton of bloggrs will read it and pay no attention.
Today’s ‘to-do’ item is to update ‘Advertise’ pages on _all_ my blogs, even the obscure ones … advertising directly on individual blogs is too darn hard, and it’s usually the blogger’s own fault.
A few days ago a friend who knew nothing about blogging dropped by and asked, “how do these blog ‘thingies’ make money”?
I sat her down and started running through a lot of the ‘big bames’ who are in my feed reader. It’s shocking how many don’t even have an ad page, much less a clear price list … or here’s a though, a simple form to take in the URL and PayPal info for a proposed ad?
If your blog was a supermarket, would people even be able to buy a can of beans without entering into a long drawn out email exchange?

That’s true. I need to improve my own ad pages, too. Right now, things are kind of primitive because I haven’t found a system that automates it the way I want it done. I need to keep looking so I can offer people something that very simply allows them to buy the ads they want, the way they want them.
I also don’t have a marketplace like Text-Link-Ads working for me, hence the self-promotion post. Gotta try something, eh?
