300X250 Ad Spot To Be Flipped Again

Ever thought of auctioning your ad space instead of having fixed costs? You might make a few more quid :evil:

Oh no...once again?

It is a good way to let us others see how people can make money online, even by flipping ads (or rather, arbitrage), but John, how do you feel to see your ad spot being used and abused? I mean, it is your spot...and you rent it to ONE person...don't you feel uhm, strange to see that the spot is being rented to 20 other people?

This sale has really been something to watch since day one. I am interested to see where this goes!

This is a perfect example of how affiliate marketing is more than just using google adwords campaigns... true affiliate marketers do a whole lot more than google adwords.

Absolutely brilliant way to create publicity John. Seems like both you and your readers are raking in the moolah!

On that note - Why do you have an alter ego named Mahmoud Osman, as found in your Alexa details?? Read all about it at http://www.dailymoolah.com/2007/08/19/is-john-chow...

You must be stoked John... the spot is obviously worth a lot more than anyone ever thought!

The way I see it, if they generated $13k like they allegedly made, good on them for playing someone at his own game. :razz:

But, more importantly I think is the fact that if I was the owner of "Search Engine Guide" who is suppose to be the ONLY premium sponsor on the site acordingly to the 'advertise' page, then I would be p!$$ed off and questioning whether the ad spot is worth what they originally paid for it. :?:

Afterall, these new ads are very bold and in your face, which to my way of thinking takes away from the search engine ad and thus you loose your exclusive rights.

Just my 2 cents worth..

Why mason, so you can share it with 20 other advertisers? I think you're better off buying a 1 month text link for $240 on this site

If only I set up my new blog in time I would sooo buy it lol. :twisted:

That's a little fishy, but i think it's worth the $200.

Anyone who doesn't understand why they are reselling the space obviously hasn't learned anything yet!

What a load of Sh@t is my first impression. WHY oh why, if they make $13k in 3-4 days would they EVER dream of selling 20 ad spots for the last 2 days for $4,000?

They are not making that sort of money, plain and simple, and John you really should write as a journalist for some 'sensationalist' paper. how can it possibly be claimed to "go down in history as pulling off the greatest advertising coup ever"

This blog, whilst very good is not the be all and end all, there is more to the internet then John Chow.

This is not a flame, just surprised by the amazing self confidence in these "Oh and another flip" posts.

It keeps going on. Maybe I'd get in on the party if I had an extra $200 laying around the house.

Is John Chow selling his ad space for less than he can so he can write stories like this? :cool:

I can't believe so many people would sign up for one of those programs myself... Especially coming from one of those mile long 1 page websites that tell you that you can be rich if you just give them some $$.

I would love to hear from some of the people that actually paid them money for this stuff to see if they are making $13,000 themselves! :roll:

I think Rich4life is very smart and they did very well. I do the same thing with what I do. Rich4life can be described as a hustler. Everyone who makes money is a hustler.

THIS ALSO INCLUDES JOHN CHOW. YES, JOHN CHOW IS A HUSTLER :twisted:

wow john.. I think you will make more money if you charge more per ad spot :evil:

BTW, John Chow, you should take this kind of ad selling yourself.

If you do it exactly as Rich4life do. Well, you will make $12000+ per month just from this ad position. Sounds crazy? Isn't it? :twisted:

Maybe John Chow should disclose this blog visitors component.

How many is usual visitor? Like less than 3 days once.

How many is from other links and google ads?

How many is from search engine?

I guess at least 50% is usual visitors. That's why google adsense income reduced, usual visitors gradually ignore it.

And for advertisers, I think cost performance of a week is better than a month.

That's why Rish4life resell the ad.His first 10 days maybe make more money than rest 20 days.

The blog ad effect is long tail.

I don't believe either that they made 13.5k

I don't mean to infer that all your readers are gullible its just that some of them will do whatever you say without even thinking about it.

Case #1: All the poor bloggers buying business cards after your post about business cards being used for offline promotion.

Case #2: All the people that bought a page on million dollar wiki.

John, I dont know how you can believe these guys?

Do you really think that if they had made 13,500 as they state they would sell that same ad space for $4k? If they are they are really silly internet marketers, they would be running the original product for the first 10 days, another upsell the middle 10 days, and a limited time discount the last 10 days to milk the ad for all its worth.

I just can't sit here and believe a person that made 13,500 would sell that same ad space for 4,000. It leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

And the fact that you are blogging about this without seeing any proof will lead some of your more gullible readers to actually believe its true.
