Two 125×125 Button Spots Available for October
I have two 125×125 sponsorship spots available for October. The buttons are shown in the right sidebar under the heading John Chow dot Com Sponsors. If you’re looking to reach a huge readership of bloggers wanting to make money online, then a button ad is a great way to do it.
According to Google Analytics, initial stats show a little under 400 clicks have been sent over since the new design went live, which went live on Aug 22. Stats also show the average referral from John Chow views 2.24 pages and spends an average of 8:58 minutes on the blog.
Zac Johnson from his post on Aug 24.
To take advantage of the opportunity, paypal $500 to johnchow@johnchow.com and email the creative to the same address. Your ad will run for the month of October.
I also have some RSS text ad spots opening up. Pricing for that is $200 a month. However, if you combine it with a button order, you can have it for $100. That $100 offer extends to any current button advertisers.
*Update - The ad spots have been sold.

Reply to this commentJohn, adjust the PayPal Email.
Reply to this commentDamn, I sent payment to the wrong address - do I get the button still?
Reply to this commentSure thing
you can bet on that, after all you did sent payment 
Reply to this commentWhat kind of results do your RSS ads bring?
Reply to this commentOne of the RSS advertisers did a post about the results. http://www.johnchow.com/what-you-should-know-about-rss-advertising-on-johnchowcom/
Reply to this commentJohn - when I comment from Firefox I get redirected to:
http://www.johnchow.com/%5ehttp://www.thetechzone.com/
(which is obviously a 404)
Doesn’t happen in IE7 - any idea what’s up?
Reply to this commentAlmost $1 per click on side ads? That’s way too expensive.
Reply to this commentThose were stats for two days, not a full month.
Reply to this commentThis means is very cheap, and much better than the review. Also Zac has the 1st position, and has a cool ad. If he got 400 clicks in 2 days it means he will get around 6k/month, which is great for $400.
Reply to this comment@ BlogsTheme, there is no first position because John rotates the ads on every page load.
Reply to this comment400 clicks in 2 days was the result of being featured on JohnChows article for http://www.johnchow.com/miscellaneous-ramblings-9112007/
Reply to this commentThat had me for a second, still too expensive for me at the moment but hopefully in the future I’ll be able to afford it.
Reply to this commentWhile 400 vis/ 2 days sounds awesome, I think it’s important to keep in mid that these stats are several times above average. First of all it was due your new theme and secondly due to the fact everyone was wondering who are those guyz that apperaed on you sidebar out of nowehere. :-). Based on experience and your traffic level I would say each box gets at most 20-30 clicks a day.
Reply to this commentYou’re lucky, you have a lot of website owners that visit your site so you get a ton of potential customers for your ads. I have a bunch of ads for sale on my site, but most of my visitors dont have any interest in website advertising.
Reply to this commentYeah, he is LUCKY:?: Uh huh, he gets traffic by LUCK. Do you figure it is good luck or dumb luck?
Reply to this commentUmm, I never said hes lucky to get traffic, I said hes lucky with the QUALITY of traffic that he gets. He gets his traffic because he runs a great site, that has nothing to do with luck.
Reply to this commentHmmm no wonder. Your site is catered to people that want free stuff. Maybe you need to offer some incentive to potentially make the ad free like an iPod touch giveaway to one of the advertisers? There has to be an angle somewhere.
Reply to this commentYeah I know, its a problem. I still have a lot of visitors and pageviews, which should be attractive to someone
Reply to this commentSweet deal, but it is still too expensive for me to afford one ad space on your site.
Reply to this commentIf you have an affiliate or marketing offer to push, I would heavily push for getting this ad spot. CPC targeted ads to affiliates would average in the $1 cpc area. Come up with something fancy and pull a lot of clicks through JC.
Reply to this commentDo you pay that much a month?
Reply to this commentYeah definitely a good deal for the right kind of site.
Reply to this comment125×125 banner for October + 1 RSS spot - PAID.
Reply to this commentThanks
damn i want one but my site isnt ready. arghhhhhhhhh!
Reply to this commentYou’ll get a chance when the 300×250 banner goes on sale next month.
Reply to this commentDo you have any $25 ad options?
Reply to this commentNot exactly my target market. But thanks for the offer
Reply to this commentRight - so that is 400 in just about 5 weeks. So if I was selling something with a conversion rate of 1%, I would need to sell something where I was getting $140 commission just to break even.
You would need to be either selling a really expensive affiliate product, or an expensive product of your own to make a profit. Or you would need massive conversion rates.
Reply to this commentYou need to read the full text. That 400 visitor was over TWO DAYS, not 5 weeks.
Reply to this commentHey John - I’ve always found it best to take responsibility if other misunderstand something I’ve written. And if I’m misunderstanding what you’ve written - maybe others will too, and you’ll get less takers. Here’s what it says near the beginning of your post:
“400 clicks have been sent over since the new design went live, which went live on Aug 22.”
Given that you wrote this post on 28th September - that would be five weeks.
So do I win a prize for helping you out?
Reply to this commentThe end of the blockquote said “Zac Johnson from his post on Aug 24.”

I wish I could charge this much for a link! (Not knocking you, I really do!)
Reply to this commentYou got Zach’s link wrong.
Reply to this commentYou put an extra “e” at the end instead of http://www.zacjohnson.com.
You got Zac’s name wrong.
You put an extra “h” at the end instead of Zac.

Reply to this commentHey John where do I go to design an add I can have placed here. I would love to place an add here but I am lost with making the add.
Reply to this commentBanner designs are cheap. Just do a google search for “banner design” or “professional banner ad design” and you will find what you need.
Good luck.
Reply to this commentI’m sure my designer can do something up for you.
Reply to this commentI believe Zac averaged about 20 cents per click (cost) from his ad.
Reply to this commentI think people are also forgetting the increase in traffic after the month is over and the ad has finished too … with a good site you should be able to retain a good % of your visitrs from month so the effects of the ad should go well beyond October.
Reply to this commentThat’s really expensive $500 a month. Not for me, for now
Reply to this commentHey John,
Looks like AGLOCO has announced member distributions!
You’re getting around $0.5 per hour….
Paid over 10 years.
I know you know a bit about finance so when you whack in inflation there and work out the present value, I hate to say it, but it’s not looking good.
This has made me move from hating AGLOCO to feeling really sorry for members. Luck you’re selling banner ads!!
Reply to this commentWhat? Paid over ten years? Are you joking? But $0.5 per hours is OK though.
Reply to this commentI just checked out their blog wondering WTf they’re doing paying over 10 years and it seems they lost $100,000 last month and their developers are working for free.
WTF?!?!?!!
Reply to this commentI bailed a couple of months ago, I just couldn’t see how they could hope to make any money with a toolbar that simply doesn’t work. It looks like things have got even worse, I feel sorry for those who believed the hype and thought this really was going to be their escape from 9-5 work.
Reply to this commentBuy that was quite. Didn’t even take one day!
