125×125 Sponsorship Button Available For Septemeber
I have a 125×125 sponsor button available for next month. If you wish to take advantage of it, you’ll have to reserve the spot quickly. The last time I offer an ad spot for sale, it sold within a few hours. As a matter of fact, the advertiser sent me the money before he sent me the ad.
Being a direct advertiser give you more exposure to my readership, not just from the ad but from all the various plugs I give my direct advertisers. The cost for the sponsorship button is $500 per month. If you would like to take it, then Email me your 125×125 creative to johnchow@johnchow.com, and PayPal $500 to the same Email address. The ad button cannot be bigger than 15K in file size. Animation is allowed but no Flash.
For those who can’t spend $500 for an ad, Tim at eMontized is offering a free John Chow ad contest to give four bloggers the chance to have their own 125 x 125 banner ad on here for free. I have to admit, Tim is a very creative guy.
*Update - the spot has been sold.

Reply to this commentGood luck! It’s not often these kind of deals fall through post sale.
Reply to this commentOkey now that was a quick sale
Congratulations.
Reply to this commentso fast? gone?
Reply to this commentAll ad spot sold! So fast. Anyway I don’t have $500 to promote my blog
Reply to this commentcool, can’t afford $500, I’ll check Tim
Reply to this commentActually, I am really not completely ready for your new skin.
Reply to this commentThat has to be a new records in terms of when it was posted to when it was sold.
Reply to this commentO yeah. Can’t wait to find out the time on this. Now to decide what to do with it….

Reply to this commentReading your post, I noticed that you’re thinking of flipping.
I wonder how many times people can “flip” ads and still make a profit.
If anybody wants to try it, banner ads sell for $30 on my blog
Reply to this commentNice plug Rhys!
And good luck - $30 for most people reading this blog is very reasonable.
Reply to this commentZing
Reply to this commentThanks for the opportunity John!
Now to figure out how to incorporate Tim’s lnkback in my blog…

nice one !
Reply to this commentSold already? Wow.
Reply to this commentBloody hell, I’m going to have to subscribe to your RSS feed.
Reply to this commentSubscribing won’t do any good. There is a delay of when the post goes live and when it actually hits the RSS feed. I am on his feed and I made it here too late. You can subscribe if you want to be an avid reader but subscribing if you’ll think it’ll help in terms of getting here first is a sad mistake. I am sure there are several other people who visit here frequently for updates. I sure hope that isn’t the reason
Reply to this commentIsn’t the feedburner RSS feed just a formatted version of the Wordpress RSS which is updated in real time? If it is then it just depends on how often you set your RSS client to check for new updates.
Reply to this commentThere is a lag between when the post goes live and when it shows up in the RSS reader. It isn’t updated in real time.
Reply to this commentA less than a minute lag most of the time.
Reply to this commentSo is there consensus that the best way to get in on these early is by subscribing to the RSS feed or is it just a case of checking the site 24/7!
Do some people spend their entire day just monitoring this blog?!?
Reply to this commentWell subscribing to the RSS sure does help to get you informed, but Simon is right, there is a slight delay between published post on the blog and on the RSS readers. Anyway it is not even that hard to monitor John’s blog for new posts…he kinda has a scheduled time when to get posts published
(thats what I believe, it just might be a coincidence as well.)
Reply to this commentWow. I saw the RSS feed update, read the post, and it’s gone already?
Reply to this commentAnd my ‘post a comment on my blog’ contest is going to end soon.. so those have not posted comments please post your comments now.. view details of this contest here. And meantime I will go to Tim’s to check the opportunity.
Reply to this commentHaha, dang that went quick!
Reply to this commentMust be some kind of record.
John - how long was it between publishing the post and selling the ad?
Reply to this commentAbout two minutes.
Reply to this commentWow! That is absolutely unbelievable! What time did the post go live local time in Vancouver?
Maybe I’m just at an unfair advantage due to the time difference here in Australia!
Reply to this commentToo rich for my blood. One of these days…
Reply to this commentya $500 can get you 50,000 visits on adsense
Reply to this commentI’m still waiting for ur September Paycheck post. I hope this time more then 20,000 bucks

Reply to this commentshould be more than that
Reply to this commentGood God!
I am subscribing right away!
Reply to this commentIn few month John will replace all affiliate places with direct advertisers
Reply to this commentYup, which was a completely “evil genius” move if I do say so myself!

Reply to this commentHow About $1000 Per Ad?
The market usually sets the price no matter how high or seemingly ridiculous it appears…I wonder why John Chow doesn’t jack up the price some more. Seems to be like the market could handle it and would be willing to accept it. Test the market I say…I’m curious to see what would happen

Reply to this comment“The market usually sets the price”
Reply to this commentTrue
Price is going up, I think John is not going to risk. Big price is going with more traffic, and when big fish decide to pay more for advertiser place.
Yeah I agree. I’m surprised he didn’t pitch higher.
It was the same with the last ad spot advertised for sale in a post - it was sold like lightning for what turned out to be a very cheap price.
I wonder where the ad pricing across this website will be in another 6 months time?
Reply to this commentI think for now I’ll go for Tim’s competition
Reply to this commentFeeling nice to visit here, i am also upto something.But waiting for the time! Looking forward for your new target

Reply to this commentWith the 125×125 spots does the advertiser have the choice to renew each month? If so that was a very smart move Blain.
Reply to this commentYea, advertiser can renew for the price they won it for in the auction, I still maintain possession of the slot though
Reply to this commentNice!
Very smart move
Reply to this commentPerhaps John should think about selling ad space on the banner of where the car is right now? I’m sure that should fetch quite a bit as well.
Reply to this commentOr he could just use adbrite and turn the car into an ad with britepic
Reply to this commentI know John likes cars but you’re right - why not just cut the car in half and free up a load more money making space?
Reply to this commentGreat blog looking design. I think you will definetly increase the number of sponsorships you have.
Reply to this commenthey man i have ditched u in my blog about ur e book in a respectable way. i hop u dont mind.
Reply to this commenthaha why would you come tell him you “ditched” him in your blog, and that you hope he doesn’t mind? That’s like.. hey.. i spit in your cereal.. hope ya dont mind
Reply to this commentQuick sale! Guess the others need to do with checking out emonetized.
