Flip That Ad Space

If John did it in 30 minutes hopefully Ryan can do it in 10 days!

Thanks for the encouragement Kevin. As it turns out, eleven21.com is owned by the same Ryan Stewart who wrote this post on your blog. http://www.bloggingtips.com/2007/07/09/5-essential...

You would think, oh well.

That's the risk... look at all the people trying to flip real estate and ending up losing money because it sits on the market too long.

I fully understand arbitrage. In most cases, you paid for ads to send traffic to another page that has higher paying ads. However, you're not trying to sell the ad you just brought. That's why this is a flip and not arbitrage.

Why do people use their real name/site when they have a brown-nose comment then drop it when they want to send a negative message?

I don't think that John's so fragile that he will hold a grudge if you don't agree with his opinion. Just don't say he's not evil. That would be crossing the line...

The million dollar homepage sold out... and was profitable.

Indeed that banner is just too blank and dead actually. Making some more graphics, a logo most probably would get visitors attention a bit more. At first place i thought it was John that had used that banner to promote his "spot on sale", only when he posted this post i realized that "it wasn't the evil in person singing but another smart devil".

Apart that, the banner itself kinda ruins the look of this site, making it slightly better would not harm anyone. (Personally on a site i own, if i don't like the banner or it doesn't meet my sites design i won't sell the spot).

Exactly the same I thought, and I could not understand, why he says 1500 when the post says 1000 bucks. But if you mouse over the ad, it shows that it's some external ad :lol:

I agree with you there. I'm not sure what kind of editorial rights John built into the sale but you could really get into some hot water if there are no controls.

The AdSense ads seem to fade into the background but a bright flashing ad may ruin the look and feel of the site.

Even if he doesn't sell it he's still getting the traffic, plus he's being talked about! :mrgreen:

Plus he's got a load of new material for future blog posts - the idea, the implementation, the effect, the overall result and what he'd do differently next time.

It could nearly be a book! :twisted:

If my math is correct... the $1500 for one month of 200,000 unique impressions means a CPM of $7.50

I'd also assume a typical 3% CTR so now the cost is 25 cents per click. This is based off unique impressions so is probably a little high.

I think the main draw here is that people will talk about it and send him a lot of incoming links. Too pricey for me though.

A little pricey for me too. I think the $400 on the Review Me would have been a better deal.

Hey, if anyone wants a review from John, I'll sell it to you for only $550. Just let me know!

Shaz,
I'm not sure what the problem was. You could use 'buy it now' on ebay. Did that not work?

If you want to talk, I'm jryanstewart on googleTalk.

Ryan (the guy selling the ad)

Hey Ryan,
I hope you can sell the spot or make the money back. I love the creativity of your idea. It got me to visit your blog as well!

Yes, it makes sense he would violate personal relationships and show everyone his emails... :roll:

What would it matter anyway? You wouldn't use it.

You think it will unlock the door to everything? It won't.

It is not about unlocking doors. It is about helping others. If he was so helping about other making money online...

And yes those are not his emails... He copied them back before google came in exitance... from the emails he recieved... those ppl actually forget to put those emails in BCC and CC.

And I'm planning to use them atleast once..
And no I'm not going to donate any money until I've enough money to spend on my family. ( a house, a car not much, I don't need every new car in town)

And I don't care if it unlock doors or anything. It is all about being honest and how much one is willing to help others.

Posting your affiliate links (even if you want the money for charity, hell, he make so much cash from TechZone why doesn't he donates money from there as well, I wonder.
Instead of buying a car for thousand of dollars every 3-4 month, he can actually spend that money to fill the hungry stomachs of hunders of thousands of hungey poeple in this world, who have no one to take care of them) in your blog to earn cash... is not a matter of charity.

So John, Can I expect an answer? or should I email you which will be neglected like before? or will all these comments will be deleted?

I'm waiting.

Having a devil as your avatar doesn't make you evil.

*There a message in there. If you're truly evil, you'll understand it.*

@John

Oh! I do understand. Why did you think I asked in the first place. :twisted:

John is right in this. I don't like John for some things, but i adore him for many other things (as money maker of course). If you can read John's posts and comments (without his comments you are half way) between lines you will actually learn how to make money.

Have you ever asked John what does he mean when he says "evil" ?

The beauty of free will, is the possibility to choose to spend your money and time in any way you so choose, judging people based on these decisions, that are theirs to make, not only makes you petty, but quite obviously jealous.

I would ask, have you ever checked out the archives Tech Bold?

Why the heck are you climbing all over John's back like a rabid chimp?

John is making money and if you are too, share your valuable information with all of us here, help us out here to achieve what we all come here to do to read the content on this blog gather whatever valuable assumption we can acquire from it.

Don't be a Philistine trying to start a war with everything in sight.

No one here is being misled by the value producing efforts John and his team put into keeping readers informed and in tune to his ideaological approach to staying alive on the internet.

Why are you here? To piss in the grass or to find something of value to your own existence?

If you're here to engage the minds of the well thinking affiliate marketers towards a value contribution forum, well do exactly that and stop trying to steal someone else's thunder in order to shift the spotlight on yourself with the non enhancing useless arguments of contention and divisive override.

Heck! afterall I'm only a financial wizard.

A rabid chimp?!?

I like that one :lol:

Is that what rabid chimps do? They climb all over your back and attack you? I love the mental image. That part really made me laugh.

Now if I could only quit foaming at the mouth...
