I read a lot, maybe too much, and get excited about schemes... I was reading
this article about how to get advertisers and it got the wheels turning in my head.
How many of you would be interested in forming a mini-ad network? Like Mandy, I am trying to increase my ad revenue. I was thinking it would be great if I could combine with a few other blogs to create a package deal that we can offer advertisers. This way we could entice advertisers with the fact that their ad reaches a larger audience, that they get links from more than one place, and that they have the convience of one bill to pay? What do any of you think about it? Would this even interest any of you? We could have it setup in paypal to automatically split evenly between all blog participants.
If you think this is something that would interest you:1) What price would you sell a 125pxl square add for?
2) Do you think we should specify where the ads are on the blogs (ex: near the fold) or make ad placement dependent on the discretion of the blogger?
3) How many ad slots would you provide?
4) If in-content links, would you put a "this is our sponsor" tagline on the bottom of posts with the keyword and link of the business? Or would you prefer to stick with just button/sidebar ads?
Cheers,
Rachel
