Two 125×125 Button Ads Available for November

written by John Chow on October 30th, 2007

I have two 125×125 button ads available for November. The button appear on every page, under the heading “John Chow dot Com Sponsors.” Button locations are randomized with each page load to give advertisers even exposure. Pricing is $500 per month per button. All button advertisers can leverage their ad buy with a text ad in the 13,000+ RSS feed for only $100 more.

These ad spots don’t come up for sale often so if you’re interest in it, then PayPal $500 (or $600 if you want to RSS ad as well) to johnchow@johnchow.com and email your 125×125 ad creative to the same address. Your button will be up and running at the start of the month. I expect to have the buttons sold within the hour so if you really want it, order it now.

John, help a brother blogger out…how do you do the sponsors thing? Is it a plug-in/widget, part of WP theme or is it custom?

That flashing Beach Bum ad is annoying that’s for sure. I hope the person that buys these ads don’t send you something tacking like that one again.

I’m jut sayin’

And another great opportunity to grabbed a great deal. But I can’t afford $500 just for a ad spot. Sorry. But I am sorry that others will.

Well done, i think the ads are worth only for those that can offer service or sell products to recover those money. For us bloggers…it is a costly way to drive traffic

Yeah, so far it’s working out… we are getting about 3 to 5 orders per day steady through JohnChow’s ads.

Yeah I hate that beach bum ad.. and Im sure its a total scam… I can’t believe anyone would buy in to it… it’s almost demeaning to John Chow’s site cause Im sure it’s not legitimate and represents everything that’s bad about blogging…

Is it a scam? I am so tempted to buy it sometimes… Has anyone tried it? I am even thinking about a new website that reviews scam type websites… :idea:

I don’t know about it being a scam (although it sure smells like one) or just not as simple as advertised, but I do think the ad is annoying with the flashiness and quite distracting. It kinda takes away from the look and feel of the site.

I kinda have a feeling it’s a program where you pay $50 to join and then you make a website to promote it. Then you’d get 50% from re-selling the program itself and 50% from people who buy your program and re-sell it for you… Hasn’t ANYONE try it before???

I am very skeptical when it comes to dishing out cash for something like that.

$500, might seem too much, and it is too much, but the traffic it brings will most likely compensate for this.

Good luck to whom ever decides to take advantage of the ad spots. $500 is definitely worth it. :mrgreen:

Wish i could afford this! One day I will try to surpass you, John Chow. That’s my goal. :twisted:

Maybe someday I’ll be able to afford this ad, but my site needs to be quite a bit more profitable before it can afford to spend that much on a single ad. I am somewhat curious how much traffic those ads really get though and how much of that traffic actually converts to regular readers.
