Advertising online just got totally awesome cheap.
I did an earlier review about Project Wonderful. I’ve been using it to place an ad on Entrecard and it has been very cheap to advertise through them. I applied to have ads on my site too … I must say that the application acceptance was a bit long, but finally they accepted me and within minutes I had an Ad Box configured and up and running on the site sidebar. You can configure them any way you want to that best fits in with your site and your available ad space. Bids are wide open and start at 30 cents per day.
I’m serious …. 30 cents per day.
Check it out and grab one. The cheapest advertising you’ll find anywhere.

I’m a bit disappointed in the services that are available to help bloggers sell their “real estate.” I’ll be honest .. I started this blog when I was a newbie at Internet Marketing and it’s early life was nothing more than a splog at best. Not really knowing what made a great blog or even the best way to push products, I went with the highly overused “review” blog. Throw a few banners up and talk about products and people would come in droves to buy them … right? Wrong. I’ve since deleted all of the original posts and started over some time ago. My goal now is to publish content that people actually want to read … and if they buy some products while they’re here or a paid review or ad space … so much the better.
So when I first began this blog, I ran across all those paid review sites and applied to them. I was promptly told that my blog did not meet their rigorous quality criteria. Well, now it does and I’ve been accepted into all of them. However, the problem I am now finding is that their advertisers don’t meet my rigorous quality criteria … with my main gripe being … they are cheapos. Read the rest of this entry »

You probably know that I am testing out the benefits of Entrecard. I was at the Campaign screen a couple of nights ago and all of a sudden, on the right hand side, I noticed these blog ads being displayed. I wondered … now how do you get so lucky as to get a spot there? Underneath the ads is a little bidding link. I clicked it and it took me to Project Wonderful. It’s a great new service where you can not only place bids on ad spots, but you can also list your own ad spots to be bid on. I immediately bid on a spot for Entrecard. My next step is going to be to check out placing one of my own ad spots there to bid on. Highest bidder’s gets their ad displayed … simple as that. The bids you place are based on CPD (cost per day) rather than a PPC (pay per click) model. You can bid for as little as one day or as much as a year. Read the rest of this entry »
