Blog Advertising Experiment – Part I
Posted on 17. Oct, 2008 by Chad in Online Advertising
OK, since I preach about the benefits of online advertising all day, moreover, blog advertising, I figured I should ‘drink the kool-aid’ so to speak.
Anyway, the first part of my online advertising experiment will be to by a few ads on various blogs. A lot of people complain that they don’t have enough money or any budget to spend money on advertising, so I’m going to do this on a super shoestring and see what kind of bang I can get for just a few bucks, and prove my argument, that anyone can afford advertising.
First step I’ll need a banner.
- I’m going to head over to 20 dollar banners and get a 125×125 done up for my blog. http://www.20dollarbanners.com This is a great site I’ve used over the years to get cheap quick banners made up. You get several revisions as well and it’s hard to beat that price.
- Next, I’ll head to a few of the blogs I read and see what they charge as well as some high traffic ones with good prices.
Stay tuned to see which sites I buy ads on and the results.
edit:
Banner is designed and I have found a few cool places to advertise. Here is the banner.

your 20dollar link doesn’t work (misspelling?) It would be interesting to see results of your experiment since I have never bought any ads ever, I use free ones.

This is a good experiment how to monetize your hardwork thru blog. And you deserved to do that. Pricing is another issue whether people want and afford to buy it. So, how was it going?
